If our fingers have fingertips but our toes don’t have “toe-tips”, then how do we still ‘tip toe’?

To ‘tip toe’ is purely an expression and is not literal. You can’t literally tip toe, to walk on the tips of your toes. You can walk on the balls of your feet but not on the tips.

Ballet dancers walk on the knuckles of their toes, which often causes great personal harm to them, but not on their tips.

So, in conclusion, because to ‘Tip toe’ is only an expression, we can ‘tip toe’ even without toe tips. To ‘tip toe’ is just to walk quietly, not to literally walk on the tips of your toes.

Post-processing 3D prints: Overview

Step 1: Sanding

Step 2: Priming

Step 3: Painting

Over 5 days, I turned a bunch of 0s and 1s into a Hunger Games Mockingjay pendant. I bought £15 worth of equipment and I still have a lot left. This has been a fun, learning experience. Since it is my birthday soon, I hope my parents will buy me my own 3D printer.

Post-processing 3D prints: Painting (Part 3)

Painting (Morning, 01/08/19)

Today, I completed the last post-processing step for my Hunger Games Mockingjay: Painting. To stay loyal to the film and the book, I painted it gold. I bought a relatively small bottle of paint (59ml) as I didn’t need much for this project.

I painted one side, then let it to dry, then painted the other side and let it dry. Then, I repeated this process to get 2 layers on each side.

After having done the large, flat areas, I used a smaller brush to paint the inside sides and the outer ring.

After finishing the painting, I hung it to a door with a paperclip. When it has dried, I’ll sand it slightly to smooth the paint.
