My Thoughts

This model was built from sheets of paper on an Mcor IRIS machine. I was so impressed that I was able to hollow out the mace head and still have a strong model. The paper models feel like wood and can be sealed just like a piece of wood. Plus, models made on this machine feel GOOD to hold. They are warm and have weight to them as if they were carved out of wood. Cool.

Great looking print! Really cool that it's made of paper. I went ahead and added this printer to our database, so please feel free to update your print so the correct printer is listed. Those Mcor printers are interesting in that they aren't like other 3D printers which are purely additive. These Mcor ones are subtractive (cutting out the pieces from the paper) then additive (gluing the layers together). What happens with the paper that isn't part of the print?

Whatever is not your model is cut in a crosshatch pattern allowing you to pull your model out cleanly. All that is used is A4 size paper and water based non-toxic glue. It is easily recyclable. The other cool byproduct is essentially a frame of laminated paper which is PERFECT for making book safes as the pages are glued together. It is easy to put a book cover on it and make it a fun hiding place for treasures.
