Print a 3D Gargoyle Without a 3D printer
This fun comic was originally created for an outsider artist workshop.
A workshop designed to introduce the concepts of how 3d printing works,
Plus provide a basic guide on how-to to use the free Autocad 360 Slicer software.
Given the workshop location a Gargoyle was chosen, but the principles and approaches can be used on almost 3D model.
It's 8 A4 pages (.PDF) includes templates, tips and even a colouring in page, so 360 Slicer isn't required.
Making it great fun for a few hours of lockdown.
Please Note: It's not an official Pallant House Gallery or Chichester Cathedral publication.

Fun Optical Illusion Thingy
Based upon the the work of Antonio-Perez Melero. This working model is akin to lenticular prints. But instead of moving the image to see the picture you need to "walk" around the artwork and view it from different perspectives to see the the effect. Theres no image here, because that would spoil the surprise.
