The creator of the game specifically requests it. I'm loving all the insights into a world I don't know nothing about.
Thanks! :) After the two tests with Erika, I did a test with Scarlett. Instead of the AmazonBasics red PLA, I switched to a different type of filament: ColorFabb StoneFill PLA. It is a matte gray filament that gives the appearance of stone or concrete.

There is still the same problem with the hair. This can be seen in the following screenshots from the slicer software (PrusaSlicer), showing on the left side how the model is loaded, and on the right side how the model is sliced in layers for the printer. Here I used 0.15mm layers. You can see in the sliced model that many parts of the hair are not converted to proper layers because they have no volume. As a result, several bits of filament are floating in mid-air without any supports.

The slicer shows that several thousand polygons in the model are not closed correctly. Usually, a model should consist of a single shell and should not have any open edges. The hair is really messing up everything.

Despite all these problems with the hair, the result is not too bad. Here are some photos (below the spoiler due to their size):

I did not print it with the highest quality settings (0.05 or 0.07 mm layers) because I knew that the hair would be a mess. The problems with the hair are also causing some of the details of the face to be lost.

But even with the medium quality (0.15 mm) the result looks rather nice. And it will probably look nicer after I clean up the thin strings of filament. No, Scarlett does not have hairy legs...

One problem with this model is the pose: without supports, Scarlett always falls to the side or to the back because there is no flat surface under the center of gravity. The butt cheeks are not on the same level and they have no flat areas, so the model is unstable. A real person sitting on a hard surface would have some flat areas under the cheeks and thighs. If there was a way to fix the hair and improve the pose a bit, this would be a very nice model to put on top of a monitor, or sitting on the edge of a shelf.

Just "Wow", I'm with Trop on this I'm really loving what you did here and the insights and skills it takes. I can't wait for the finish product. Great job UnwrappedGodiva .

Thanks, but let's give credit where credit is due: the real effort goes into creating the models. All these nice characters that we see and enjoy in My Dorm were created by Trope.

Converting a 3D model (the .OBJ file) into GCODE that can be 3D printed is no effort, really: I just had to load the model, let the slicing software do its job, then send it to the 3D printer and wait a bit for the result. For me this took only a few minutes, compared to the hours that Trope has spent creating and customizing these models for My Dorm. It may sound like magic to you, but once you have a bit of experience with 3D printing, you will know that printing an existing model is actually very easy.

Also, to be clear about the finished product: I am doing this for fun and I am not intending to sell any of this because this would go against the Daz license and against Trope's wishes. I don't use Daz myself, but I checked their surprisingly restrictive 3D printing license after Trope mentioned it here, so I know that selling My Dorm figurines would not be a good idea. In fact, I am almost glad that the models provided here by Trope have so many problems with their hair and with their unstable poses because this means that there is no risk that someone would grab these models and start selling My Dorm figurines without asking Trope and without respecting the Daz license.

I decided to deal with the problem of hair. I think I will have to remove some of the individual highlights. I will also remove eyelashes. This should make it easier to print.
As for the poses, she is supposed to sit on my shelf above the monitor.

UnwrappedGodiva: Not bad, really not bad. Thanks for your effort!

If i have enough money, 3D modeling for 3D printing skill, artistic skill and motivation to overcame my laziness i probably would ve done it for cosplay for fun without any contest involving money.

Promo video for Season 1
I love how innocent this looks. The music also sounds so innocent. I guess that if the video was redone by replacing each image with the one that follows a handful of clicks later in the game, then the updated clip would look like an uninterrupted orgy. :ROFLMAO: I also love the description mentioning a "wholesome slice-of-life". This promo video is a masterpiece of hypocrisy.

It should be for all ages, and a lot of the images are from the first chapters of Season 1, so only 5 of the 25 images (Eileen, Samantha, Scarlett, one of Emma's, and one of Martha's) are followed by something lewd. The game was very innocent at that stage.

Special Render (LI) - Martha - Free Edition
Obviously, knowing my preferences, the LI (#51) Special Render should be Martha. Even more taking into account it's the last of the Valentine's series.
It's been fun to imagine and render our girls in romantic tropes (yes, I know. Trope). Let's say cliché scenes instead of tropes.
Remember tomorrow ends the subscriber cycle with the game arriving at Scarlett's tier, so by the end of the week I will start publishing previews of 0.24.
Enjoy the Full HD render (4K for subscribers)!
