Harry Potter [inspired] Auror Badge

Auror Badge inspired by Harry Potter for COSplay

This is a 3D Print made in ABS-like Resin from our new resin printers and the detail is quite a change from our FDM printers, as is the time to print and cleanup.

The modelling was done by Adam using Cinema4D and cleanup was done via MeshLAB and processed on Prise Slicer and Chitubox before being output as a 3D Print at 0.05mm layers.

Turning concepts from film and fiction into a reality, into something physical and memorable, is an integral part of what motivates us at IDM using 3D Print, Casting, machining or traditional model making crafts.

We are creative model makers based in Leeds (UK) with over 35 years experience using mixed media.
