It all depends on the height of the printed layers. Mine are usually 0.04mm.

Bob!

really good work as usual, mate! are these casts from a resin print, or do you paint the busts after printing? if they are printed in that bronze colour, how do you get them to look like they've been cold cast???

I'm always amazed when I see your work!

Thanks, Steve.

They're just the actual prints. I can't be bothered moulding and then casting them and having to sort out seam lines. The resin used (apart from the blue crystal part), is the standard grey and the bronze look is just a cunning paint job ;o) They're also hollow, so are incredibly light, probably weigh less than a saucer.
