For some strange reason one of the first things that many people do if/when they get a 3D printer at home is to print some Star Wars model and apparently Yoda's bust is a popular first choice. I was just browsing some old 3D printing photos from around the time I got my first 3D printer about 2 years ago, and guess what I saw... some photos of a Yoda bust that I have 3D printed.
I even remember seeing somebody asking for that in a 3D printing related post here on steemit, though I can't seem to find the post at the moment. Anyway I have decided to post a photo of the Yoda bust that I have 3D printed, the funny thing is that I have apparently made more than a single print and I don't even remember that, but apparently have a photo proof.
I did not create the 3D model of the Yoda bust, back then I was just getting started with 3D printing and was learning a lot of new things every day, I have downloaded it from Thingiverse. The 3D prints on the photos were of a Yoda bust 3D printed with a lower layer height of 0.3mm, so you can easily see the lines of the different layers... Ok, maybe not so easily on the second photo where I have used semi-transparent PLA filament and the details are not very clearly visible on the photo, unlike on the 3D print with black material.
If you are just getting started in 3D printing and you may not be aware of the extensive library of models for 3D printing that is available on Thingiverse, then I suggest that you check the website out.
The exact 3D model for the Yoda Bust that I used was this one: Yoda bust (cleaned and simplified)
