Yesterday, I created my first 3D file ever. It was a Hunger Games phone dock for my mum.

After I got into the Hunger Games groove with the phone dock, I made a fan cover for the Anet A8.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had gotten quite a few views on the first day. I hope to make more 3D models soon.
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.
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.
Watch this space!
