I am trying to print this toy for a friend's kiddo and would like to print it in color. I uploaded the image to STL Buddy and had it render a 3D model. I then put it into Blender to make the base flat for easier printing. When I put the .stl into Bambu Studio and try to paint it, I'm NOT able to (fill) paint right up to the edge with the paint, even though I'm using edge detection. I have tried various smart fill angle numbers but it doesn't make a difference. Does the community have any recommendations on how to make the edges crisper, using Blender? I am working my way through the Sculpting tutorials but thought I would check here first. I tried to use the subdivision surface modifier from the Blender in 14 Days module but my computer kept freezing when I tried to increase the levels. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!!

So, I have been really exploring prompts and generating them. I have found myself running low on filament and looking for help on finding a new supplier. I have been using primarily Bambu, but they keep running out of the colors I need. Thanks

Just finished this bad boy.

Finally made my very first flexi. What do you guys think?

So Ive started playing around creating Fake-mon (fake pokemon) style characters and cards going with them. Some I am uploading into my AI 3d modeling software and getting ready to 3D pri t them. I have also been generating the "cards" that go with them. Here are the prompts I use to generate the characters in ChatGPT. Copy and paste the following prompt in ChatGPT taking out the part under ELEMENT / THEME and insert whatever you want. I used Fire Eagle just for a basic character and this is what I got. Get creative and make whatever adjustments you would like. After I get the character I like. I simply type "Evolve" to get the 2nd evolution of that character. You can even do it a 3rd time. Also adding my Fire Pitbull I did. I will be uploading the card prompt in a separate post. The prompts isn't perfect all the time. But it's fun to play with. I hope you all enjoy! THE PROMPT: Create an original, non-copyrighted creature character inspired by classic monster-collecting games. ELEMENT / THEME: [Insert element or theme here – fire, ice, shadow, nature, arcane, etc.] CORE STYLE: - Cute but powerful creature design - Chibi / vinyl-toy proportions - Large head, compact body - Simplified anatomy with a strong, readable silhouette - Expressive but minimal facial features POSE & STRUCTURE: - Neutral, stable stance - Feet planted flat on the ground - Balanced, grounded posture - Symmetrical or near-symmetrical pose - No extreme motion or action effects CRITICAL PHYSICAL CONSTRAINTS (VERY IMPORTANT): - **Nothing is floating** - All body parts must be physically connected - No hovering elements, particles, or separated pieces - Flames, crystals, armor, fur, or effects must be attached to the body - Wings, tails, horns, ears, and accessories must connect solidly to the main body - If an element extends outward, it must clearly originate from and reconnect to the creature’s anatomy DESIGN CONSTRAINTS: - Entirely original creature concept - No resemblance to real Pokémon species
