Wanted something simple for Halloween this year so decided to sculpt and 3D print a Starro mask. I scanned my head with EM3D. I then extracted the mesh slightly to give a little wiggle room and printed a thin test mask to verify the fit of the mask - it fit like a glove. So now I’m sculpting the full starfish. I still have a bit more work to do but thought I’d share my progress so far.
The eye is a little big and I’m fighting to keep the hole small yet large so I can see out of it a little. Let me know what you think, any tips and pointers, etc.
After designing, I split the mask into multiple parts with registration pegs for easier printing.
I designed the iris to sit back slightly from the eye hole so I could make a lens. The lens is a piece of plastic - I printed a blank (yellow part) and thermoformed (vacuum formed). It’s hard to see because it’s so clear but it fits like a glove around the iris and into the socket. Then the pupil has a piece of a pvc hard drive fan filter so I can see out but you can’t see in.
