Excuse me while I go grab my popcorn.
id consider them making it if they were also the one who designed the 3d object without taking someone elses work. if they just downloaded a model, made minor changes than print it, I would not consider it their work.
Yeah, I spend hours digitally sculpting parts sometimes, and then once it’s printed I spend hours filling and sanding the build lines and painting. Having also built parts by hand, they’re equally skilled work in different ways. Digital sculpting is just a lot less messy which means it’s much easier for me to do at home, lol. Do not miss the days of hand-sculpting foam and making silicone molds and fiberglass parts.
