Pirate Coins [3D Printing]

In this video, we will be creating Pirate Coins. 

They are fairly simple to create and it took hardly any time at all to print.

Using a reference image, I create the Skull shape and refine it with a Subsurf Modifier. 

You can use any image you want or you can model from memory, and if you do create something cool be sure to post a comment below. 

Once we have our two objects we can simply join them using a Boolean Modifier. 

Once we are happy with it, we need to make sure we set the correct Unit scale otherwise we will have some trouble when it comes to the printing. 

After I exported it as an STL (which you can download here). I then sliced and printed it. After printing, I first coated the coins in a Primer/filler and then painted on some gold leaf (or you can use gold spray paint).

I wanted them to look old and worn so I painted them with some Acrylic paint to try and "age" them. 

Hopefully you enjoyed this video! and as always, thanks for reading!.
