How Would You Slice That? - Slicing for Multi-Color with Tessa Nesci
Channel: TGAW
Date: 2024-03-06

Our guest tonight is Tessa Nesci, otherwise known as SparkyFace5. Tessa really embraces the fun in 3D printing and for years she has been sharing her whimsical creations with the community. She has designed for both FFF/FDM and resin printers and seems particularly talented at making realistic cheese. Tessa is also a great ambassador in the 3D Printing Community, uplifting both new and experienced makers alike. Her latest Patreon effort, ArtZaps, aims to take that further and provide a monthly financial boost to deserving artists. Lately, Tessa has fallen in love with FFF/FDM printing all over again and much of that has to do with the new color technologies that have been introduced. Tonight we'll check in with Tessa, hear a bit about ArtZaps, and learn about how she prepares one of her models for color printing.

About How Would You Slice That?
-=-=-
"How Would You Slice That?" is a 3D printing talk show combined with slicing strategies, tips, and tours. Episodes will air live on YouTube and Twitch on Prime Tuesdays (a.k.a. Tuesdays that are Prime Numbers). Each episode, we'll be joined by a guest from the 3D Printing Community. We'll get to know them better and hear about their latest projects. Then each episode we'll pull up a model and talk about how we would go about slicing it for 3D printing. Through those discussions, we may get exposed to different slicers, different features, different settings, or maybe just a different way to think about approaching a model.

Community participation is encouraged! If you would like to suggest a 3D model for a future episode or sign up to be a guest, please visit https://howwouldyouslicethat.com.
