Maker-Bot... Bot

Maker-Bot experiment!

Let me come right out and fully admit that this is absolutely a poor man's rip-off of a Ashley Wood/3A Robot. My desk is covered with 3A vinyl, and simplifying one of them in spirit seemed like a fine, low poly, idea for my first 3d printer experiment.

I was really interested in answering a few questions that were plaguing me as I thought more and more about 3D printer application.  What type of surface does the texture of the material create? Was the material solvent with specific chemicals such as acetone? How would the paint stick to the surface of this strange substance? Not a total disaster but far from perfect.

Step 1 - Purchase a Graphic Artist Guild Handbook!

One of the most valuable pieces of advice imparted to me by faculty at Ringling, was to purchase and reference the Graphic Artist Guild Pricing & Ethical Guidelines Handbook.

This book will help you learn to price your work and time according to the industry standards as well as help you to navigate the complex sea of usage rights, quarterly tax submission, kill fees, and client contracts.

A must buy for the fledgling freelance artist.
