Description

I had trouble printing the pipes for the Cyberman head because the vertical (when mounted) sections are hollow. I filled the pipes using OpenSCAD but couldn't get it to render both models together so I had to go through the following process:

1. Line everything up in OpenSCAD but only render my "pipe filler" parts of the model. Export as STL.

2. Open the original STL in Meshlab. Open my "pipe filler" STL as another layer.

3. Select Filters --> Layer and Attribute Management --> Flatten visible layers.

4. Save new STL and upload to cloud.netfabb.com.

Instructions

1. Print the original cyHead27mmNoPipes_010.stl.
2. Print filled_pipes_fixed.stl.
3. Glue together. I found that my pipes were a little short to meet in the middle so I cut and glued them to another set to make them slightly longer.
4. Continue populating the planet in preparation for the ultimate conquest...
