Doesn't have to be 3d printed but I figured that would be my best option. So while I am asking advice on getting something printed in the third dimension, I am also open to other alternatives.
I am going to be putting in a 30 foot flag pole in front of my house. I also have a rubber m4 training rifle I am going to paint black, and a Kevlar helmet that someone has donated to me. Next to my flag pole I want to put in a permanent battlefield cross memorial. So I have the rifle, and the helmet, both will be painted in a way to protect them from UV exposure. What I don't have are the boots. I have a pair of boots, but plain boots wont last a year outside.
Bronzing a pair is expensive, and wont fair much better outside.
I cant find just concrete combat boots.
So 3d printing seems to be an option for me.
What is the process of 3d printing and how much can I expect it to cost? I have a friend that can print these up to 9 inch's, which is a tad small, but will work, but he would need a file, which I cant find. So that means I will probably have to go to a place that has the ability to scan existing boots and print them.
Thoughts and advice?
