This will be a pretty quick update! I ordered some big blueprint papers to draw my final design on and they are arriving soon, so I will be making another longer post this weekend. My first model and casting attempt wasn’t completely a failure, because I made something, but it didn’t turn out as expected in terms of shape. I tried to get some sort of color gradient effect but that didn’t want to happen as the resin I chose was white. However, the resin did cure and the original plastic model worked: This made me think about how I will execute the modeling task on a large scale. I looked into 3D printing: And found some pretty cool stuff. But ultimately, I would need to print multiple parts and glue/fuse them together because I want my scale to be around a foot and a half to two feet long for two or two and a half neurons. So, I am working on meeting with someone who can give me advice about the 3D modeling process now that I do know what my design is and how I will be utilizing the model.
Stay tuned for a Labor Day weekend update.
