Oh my goodness, this is SUCH a good idea, and it seems so obvious in retrospect! I'm surprised everyone isn't doing this! :O
I know. I am frankly suprised it took me so long to come up with this. It's so obvious. :) I suspected for a while this should work. It was just matter of finding a user friendly clay.
WOW! Thank you! I had just about given up on this process. What a great solution.
More on this rechnique coming soon. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Except perhaps I should really finish this lizard first. :)
I cant wait to try a project like this. The potential speed increse in filling is someting I really want to test and could be a huge time saver.
Yea. I think this clayforming technique has a huge potential for both building and filling. Here is a part 2 with more tips on it if you haven't seen it yet: Clay forming 2 - How to make a teddy bear with 3d pen czcams.com/video/wpxpTm1hwSo/video.html also here is the lizard from start to finish: How to make a lizard with 3d pen and a can of Play-Doh czcams.com/video/lTph85uMX7Y/video.html Don't get tempted to use oil based clay though. It sculpts way better then Play doh but melts with the heat of the plastic and makes a huge mess. Good luck
You’re the queen of 3D pens! I’m so glad you keep doing videos and sharing your amazing creativity.
Also I would like to know how to do that natural looking play doh please!
Thank you so much!! I am travelling right now but will do a video on it when I get back to my studio. In the meantime google "homemade playdoh." There are tons of recipes most contain just flour, salt, cream of tartar, and glycerine. Some work better then others and the original Playdoh works the best. However if it is not available where you're most of these homemade versions will do the job. Good luck.
@@3DPENDEN thank you so much! I like the looks of yours. So I’ll be looking forward for you video. And I hope you have a wonderful time wherever you are and safe travels
Time to practice again....
This should hopefully make things a bit easier. Did you ever got your surface to work?
@@3DPENDEN Hi, thank you for asking.
Tried the whole process over again at a lower temp but still got a little bit of an impression. Used polycarbonate both times. It's fine though, the clear chopping mats are working well. Though I'll try that acrylic spray on some glass to see how that goes.
Do you know if this will work with oil based clay?
Unfortunately I am not familiar with oil based clays. I mostly worked with polymer (untill I met my first 3d pen:) ) So I know if you leave polymer scraps on a plastic mat it will eventually eat all the way through it, which can't be good for the filament. If you have some oil based clay on hand test it on some non-labor intensive project and see. Is it clean enough not to muck up the filament too much? Plus there is something about the play-doh being so soft and non stick that makes it super easy to remove. I would say test both and see. It wouldn't hurt to talk to a chemical engineer that deals with plastics about this issue, but I don't know any. Also there are so many filaments out there. (I mostly work in PLA.)
Eric I finaly tried some oil based clay. Sculpts sooo much better than playdoh. And it is clean enough. Unfortunately it also reacts to the heat of the plastic and melts right into it. It's super heat sensitive. So I am afraid for now we are stuck with playdoh. But I only tried one brand.
