AKMod Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 - Share it - Hello everyone,It was my first time using 3D printing to make key elements of the Pip-Boy mod. Each of the 20 3D components took between 15 to 23 hours to print, plus the long time it takes to smooth out the prints using epoxy resin. Polishing required an additional two weeks, the painting took several layers, then finishing off with an oxidized metal finish to create a special ageing effect. I had to be incredibly patient. I also created the accessories with iron netting, leather and vacuumed light bulbs, which I custom-made, which took a further week or so. Taking into account UV printing and acrylic laser cutting, the project took me around 6 weeks to accomplish in total.Hardware:CPU : INTEL I9 9900KGPU : NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2080 TiMOTHERBOARD : ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XI GENEMEMORY : ZADAK SHIELD RGB DDR4 3200MHz 16GB(8GBx2)SSD : APACER AS2280 M.2 SATA III 128GPSU : FSP DAGGER PRO 650W SFX PSUWATER-COOLING : ZADAK CPU WATER BLOCKM.2 SSD HS : ZADAK MOAB M.2 RGB HEAT SPREADERFAN : COOLER MASTER MASTER FAN MF120R A-RGB
