Not a bad idea, but I doubt it would have a lot of demand and I would need to purchase the 3D printing license, but not a bad idea :D
I was confused about the need to purchase a 3D printing license, but I see that Daz requires a separate Commercial 3D Print License that "allows you to print and sell up to twenty prints of that piece of content." Oh wow! I was not aware of that restriction. :oops:

That being said, although I would love to have a 3D print of these girls, I know that it would not be easy.

I have several 3D printers at home and at work, and I can tell you that printing hair is a nightmare. :eek: Printing curly hair that is not stuck to the body is virtually impossible. :eek::eek: The hair would need a lot of supports and would probably break too easily. Same for the fishnet bikini: the parts that are stuck to her skin would be easy to print, but the parts that are loose would need a lot of supports and would probably break. Besides, the fishnet would be barely visible except if the print nozzle has a very small diameter (<0.2mm), but then the print would take several days.

And then there is the issue of colors. Most of the reasonably priced 3D printers would be limited to five colors (Prusa Mk4 with MMU3 or Prusa XL with five toolheads) or four colors (Bambulabs with AMS). This is certainly not enough to support all these skin tones, hair colors, and bikini colors. So the solution would be to print these girls in a neutral color and then paint them by hand. But then this means several hours of preparation, painting and post-processing for each 3D print.

So... nice in theory, but not so easy in practice.

Dude you need to change to another supplier of dope. Every time you get high you start spewing sewage every where. That shit really messes your waste management system.

Is too childish to be here. You know that this has a age restriction access, don't you? Your posts put all that into questioning.

Maybe this should be looked into... because you look hardly mature enough to go alone to school.

Peace :(

Daz is a bit of a milker when it comes to 3D printing. Each asset needs its license. 12 girls, 12 bikinis, 12 hairstyles. The cheapest license, when not in sale, is $1.99, so we are talking about $72 in licenses to 3D print that image (up to 20 times). Then you should add the printing cost, which I do not know, and even the printer if someone wants to do it commercially and (as it's my case) doesn't own one.
The best idea to get a good result would be to print it in a neutral color and handpaint it, and that would add even more cost and, especially, time. And someone who knows how to paint. It's been years since I painted a Warhammer figurine, and my skill couldn't be considered pro-level even then.
The figures should be adapted to 3D printing (even more time) to avoid the problems you named with hair and fishnet.

So, yes, that would be a nice feature to have, but I never would try to do it commercially. The final cost of each printed item would be too high to have any success, would take a lot of time I would need to take from development, and no one can be sure the final product would have the quality needed to be commercialized.

I guess that's why no one is doing it in the AVNverse. The more "fancy" items I've seen out there for AVNs have been T-shirts and mugs, and I think it wasn't a success. Most people who would purchase them have the PS skills to extract their favorite image from the game and print a mug online.
