The long overdue Prehistoric contest medal is taking shape...

I'm learning to 3D print now.

Here is the front face of the medal fresh out of the resin printer. It is printed at an angle to reduce layer lines.

 

Now dried and cured. Printing supports not removed yet. Some will snap off, others have to be snipped off.

 

Medal face. I'm trying to judge if anything needs to be made more prominent to survive the casting process. All of the detail has to fit in the 1mm between the floor and the rim of the "dish".

 

CU of Thom and his paint brush. Layer lines are just barely apparent. They are more like random noise.

Wow!   Looking really good!  How long did the print take?
