Lithophane

New work for me -   printed  this on the 3d printer -  you can create the lithophane from an online free software  site   http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/   then you put into your slicer software  and then it converts it to a printing file - its amazing

the first one I tried of my grand daughter 

the second is of horses 

and made a base to hold it 

was fun !!!

GISI Pen making - step one print 3d container and fill with resin

Its been a while - and I have been busy at work as well but having a ball

I got a 3d printer for christmas (gift to self) and loving it - wanted to make  pens again but with resin so started printing the molds to pour the resins in and then when it gets warm I can turn them on my lathe

these are called GISI style pens - you fill the compartments with colored resin 

then I will turn them on the lathe to make a pen
