Just for fun!

Made a shape out of gray self-drying hobby clay, took a (very clumsy) silicon mold of it, and now I have a fun shape to pour excess soap into if I make too much for the main mold.

On the left: clay thing. On the right: lavender soap.

      “Listen. Hear me and obey. A foul darkness has seeped into my temple. A darkness that you will scrub. Return my bar of soap to Mount Kilkreath. And I will make you the instrument of my cleansing suds.”

    I have a question — is there any way to smoothe out the grooves made by the 3d printing prpcess? Is there any good site I can look at that catalogs these techniques?

      You could spray paint the printed model with sandable primer. Then you can sand and spray it repeatedly until you get the finish you are looking for.

      The lines are from sandpaper when I flattened and sharpened the edges :)

      Only had very coarse sandpaper lying around. Finer paper would make it smoother.
