vintage combs remixed for 3d printing
Description
Loved these combs, and wanted to make it in thermoplastic so I could give it a nicer shape by heat forming it. Took the SVG into inkscape and exported it as a png and used that to make the STL in MatterControl (love the handy image to path and extrusion tools). all stl files will print flat and need to be heat formed in hot water. See https://www.instructables.com/id/Thermoforming-3D-Printed-PLA-for-Use-in-Prostethic/ (not mine, just a really nice set of basic instructions) for good, clear instructions on this method. Printed from XYZprint. Sadly, the decoration on the fan comb doesn't translate well to FDM printing, so my version is plain. Added photos of formed and partially coated combs. They need another coat!
