  🫧 CORALπŸͺΈ ARTICULATED 🌊  TURTLE 🐒 Born from three months of technical sculpting and refinement, this articulated turtle carries a mesmerizing coral shell, unique flippers, and lifelike textures. Engineered to move with natural grace, it showcases the hidden beauty of gyroid patterns while remaining FDM-printable with almost no supports, a rare harmony of design, art, and technical mastery. 🌊 The Journey  🐒✨ The Coral Articulated Turtle was not born overnight,  it was technically sculpted over months of persistence, trial, and discovery. It began with a vision. I had always wondered how to design articulations as fluid and natural as waves. But there was no ready-made tool or shortcut. What existed felt limiting, so I set out to build my own way, a path that would take me through months of testing, sculpting, and refining and creating various  CAD software, custom algorithms, and hands-on sculpting into a process that was as much invention as it was cre...

Feels Good Man : That Happened. Went Viral!

                    Khaleej Times Feature Story                         Times of India Article                 Times of India Plus Feature An old news πŸ—ž️ but what better ocassion than this to show case them for all of you to watch and read on this joyous 3rd Anniversary of Mels 3D LABS  Been holding back on posting the news, come on I was building things like crazy, skipping lots of meals. Not really proud of the pics that were taken for the news. The News was featured over 60+ media world wide, you can check mostly all of them down here :                             Mels 3D NewsRoom 3 years later,  Here we go.

Acid Bed Leveling. The Madness Continues

Acid bed leveling is an experimental technique developed by Mels3D for achieving a perfectly flat build plate in 3D printing. This innovative process uses acid etching to precisely remove material from the surface of the build plate, correcting any irregularities.   Key Points:  1. Precision The acid etching process allows for extremely fine adjustments, resulting in a highly accurate and uniform surface.  2. Surface Quality  This method can produce a smoother surface compared to traditional mechanical leveling methods, enhancing print adhesion.  3. Durability Plates leveled through acid etching tend to maintain their flatness longer, reducing the frequency of re-leveling.  4. Material Compatibility Typically used on metal build plates like aluminum or steel, which can endure the etching process.   Process: 1. Preparation  The build plate is cleaned thoroughly to eliminate any contaminants.   2....
