Description

*************

UPDATE: V2 smoother/better version available here

*************

Original model from rhcreations over at Sketchfab was made in Blender, which looks great in rendering software but when you export it the actual geometry was too simple for a high quality 3D print.

I added “subdivision surface modifiers" to each of the letters, which increased the geometry substantially so that we get avoid that low-poly look of the original export. All that to say… when printed these look really nice.

Recommendations:

- Scaled to 600% to give about 5.5" height - Adjust z-axis about 20mm to give the letters a flat back for mounting with command strips (if you don't you'll need supports most likely) - Use variable layer height to give the rounded top layer a smoother surface (uploaded pic of the settings) - I primed/sanded the letters using Rust-Oleum Automotive 2-in-1 Filler & Sandable Primer and then painted them with a coat of glossy spray paint (see the white H picture)
