So, lets start off with our prints. Today was a test print kind of day. I wanted to test the tolerence of the gems for the Lannister Wand, to make sure that they fit, and that the recess was deep enough. So I took a section, and duplicated it. One has the original depth, the other is slightly deeper.
In reality, I should have printed little test pieces like this for all the gems slots
before I printed the wands out, but oh well...
They came out well. The hole is slightly too small I'd say; they could be a smidge bigger. But I think the deeper holes will be a little better.
Also, whilst we're here. I printed this little test piece the other day too, which I don't think I showed. It's a test fit for the tear drop shaped gem. The fit is slightly loose, but it means getting it in the slot is nice and easy, so I'll allow it. Depth is good..
I also did another test print on the Stark wand, specifically the engraving. It wasn't as clear as I would have liked the first time, so I scaled it up a little, and made the extrude a little deeper. This is the result:
Much cleaner. It's also only on one side this time too, as I think the engraving on both sides is a little unnecessary.
Let's move onto the Lannister wand again. I've now more or less finished the Lannister Wand Pommel. Really happy with how this had turned out, and I'll do a test print of this, and Longclaw pommel over the weekend. (tomorrow probably)
Anyway, that's all folks for today. More updates soooooon!
