TEAMYAKIMA Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Hello I am looking for a HO/OO sleeping dog and I have looked at conventional makes - Preiser, NOCH etc and wondered if anyone knew of a 3D printed one. I'm looking for a large curled up sleeping dog - anyone know of one/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted February 29, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 29, 2020 Why 3D printed specifically? There’s one on Shapeways, overscale, but that emphasises the ‘big’ bit! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 55020 Posted February 29, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 29, 2020 There's a free STL file on Thingiverse that might be of use. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:441027 Although you don't mention if you have access to a 3D printer?

Ahh, that's a shame that it didn't work out. However it's very easy to resize an stl file. If you let me know how long you'd like the model to be I can do that for you and send you the revised file. Does your friend have a resin (SLA) printer, as this type of printer will give you the smoothest surface with great definition? Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Hello Steve Yes, it was a classic case of misunderstanding - the finished print is the size of a paperweight. Thanks for your offer to re-size the file I will confirm the size and get back to you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium JimFin Posted March 11, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2020 See how it goes, I did have a look at that file in Cura at 10mm and it looks like it will be pretty blob like. Let me know if you change your mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
