Description
This is a project I started back in college during Spring 2009. We had to create a whistle in Solid Works in order to make an STL file and then create a model with rapid prototyping. I saw a nice opportunity to make something stupid and never even suspected I would make it look like this at the end.So after the whistle was manufactured by rapid prototyping (FDM process), I had to improve the surface quality. Since FDM makes very rough and bumpy surfaces (like you can see in the hole in the last image), I spent hours with putty and fine-grit sand paper to get a more acceptable smoothness.
Once the surfaces properly prepared, I applied automotive primer and paint (Acrythane PMS 123C). I then painted the details of the smiley with a fine paintbrush and acrylic paint then finally applied a couple of layers of glossy clear.
Anyway thanks for reading, and stay AWESOME!!

Primer gris au gun et peinture silver de char au gun. Après ça, j'ai ajouté du noir de marque Duncan Oil Translucent que j'ai essuyé avec un linge jusqu'à l'effet voulu et j'ai protégé le tout avec 2 coats de vernis céramique semi-gloss.
Les deux premières étapes peuvent surement se faire à la cacanne.

Merci! Je l'ai fait en 6e session pour le cours de Prototypage rapide. Tu auras l'occasion de créer des trucs cool avant ça, avec les cours de Projet et de Maquettes.
Si jamais t'as besoin de feedback sur des dessins ou des projets, n'hésite pas à me contacter.

Intéressant! Ça l'air d'être des projets vraiment le fun. C'est étonnant qu'ils vous donnent des projets avec l'industrie en 1re année déjà.
Le meilleur site que je connais pour les tutorials SW, c'est dans la section 3D de productdesignforums.com. Sinon, tu peux demander à Solange Gagné de te refiler les tutoriaux de surfacique qu'elle donne en 5e session. C'est assez avancé mais si tu peux bien les comprendre ça va vraiment t'aider.

Well basically my 3D model is production ready, but I'm still a broke student. I need an entrepreneur or a company to deal with production and distribution and that aint easy to find!

I WANT ONE! I don't know what I'd use it for, but I want one!

Hahaha trust me it's just a kind of gadget. I still have the prototype on a shelf and the only times I use it is to show it to my friends and have a good laugh!
But I must say everytime I look at it I'm tempted to imitate the "awesome face" so it has a positive effect on mood!

On the right-hand side of the screen, up next to the picture, you should have the option to delete or edit you deviation. You can change it from there, if you wish.
