Embedded Files
Project Overview
________________________________________
When I first got my 3D-Printer, I wanted to take on a project that could walk me through the whole creation process with something fun and tangible to hold onto. So I decided to attempt making a Funko Pop version of myself!

Preliminary Design
3D Model
Through various youtube tutorials, I learned the basics of using Blender as a 3D sculpting tool and created a basic 3D model from a reference image of a Funko Pop.

Fabrication
3D-Printing / Painting
Following the completion of my model, I exported the file as an STL and sliced it in Cura, prepping the model for 3D-Printing. Finally, I printed, primed, and painted my final product.

Reflection
Although a smaller first project, I was able to learn a lot about 3D-printing and 3D-modeling through the process of this project. If I were to do something similar again, I would like to increase the complexity of this project by including some sort of spring into the head for a bobble effect and spend more time on the paint for a more professional, finished look.
