Project 1 Models
Published 3D Model 1
Material Study of real life object vs 3D print
Material State: Refined
Material Plasticity: Rigid, rubbery
Material use: Used for a keychain
Feels like plastic and rubbery
Most figurine keychains that feel rubbery are soft polyvinyl chloride
They often feel rigid enough to hold shape but have a smooth, matte texture that does not feel like hard plastic.
