Detain Marker Prototype - From the Printers

So this little guy arrived from the printers today


First thing I get back from 3D printing! Exciting stuff! I like it but I can already see room for improvement. First, some more pics:




So first thing I noticed is some lost detail in the runes. They got a little doughy. I think I'll use the more brittle, yet higher detail material next time. Also, it is way thinner than I expected. I'll probably make it thicker. I think I will also scale it bigger, globally. I wouldn't mind it being a little bigger. Well that's what this is all about, trial and error. Since I don't wish to use this to make a mold, I think I will go ahead and prototype the paint job too. Stay tuned!
