Project description
I am looking for a skilled 3D printing specialist to produce a custom prototype and a small run of detailed miniatures based on a design I already have in mind. The end result will be used both for a personal project presentation and for showing potential partners what the finished product concept looks like, so surface quality, dimensional accuracy and overall finish matter a great deal. I can supply reference photos, rough sketches and approximate dimensions, but I do not have a finished 3D file yet, so part of the job is turning that concept into a printable model before any physical printing begins.
The object is a mechanical-looking prototype part combined with a small figurine element, roughly palm-sized, with several moving or interlocking components that need to fit together precisely after printing. I would like the freelancer to recommend the most suitable printing technology (FDM, resin SLA or SLS) based on required strength, detail level and cost, and to advise on the best material for durability and a smooth, paintable finish. Post-processing such as sanding, priming and light painting is a welcome addition, though I can also arrange finishing separately if that keeps the overall price lower.
Please only apply if you have real hands-on experience with commissioned prototypes or miniatures and can show a portfolio of similar completed work. Clear communication throughout the process is important, since I would like to review a digital preview render before the actual print run starts, and request small adjustments if something does not look right.
Requirements:
— Portfolio of previous 3D printed prototypes or miniatures
— Own printer or reliable printing service access
— Experience with 3D modeling software (Blender, Fusion 360, ZBrush or similar)
— Ability to provide a digital preview render before printing
— Realistic timeline and clear pricing for materials and post-processing
