ALBEBRIJE 3D PRINT

We printed out some of the ALBU-BRIJES on a 3D Resin Printer at Quelab:


VIRGIL VELASCO

We converted Virgil Velasco's print into a 3D file with  Meshy:

"Pescadogallo Alebrije"


We first used KREA Realtime to color
and give the illusion of a 3D print
(in a 2D image)

The 3D file in the slicer program


Virgil's 3D sculpture with support material


We 3D printed two of Virgil's Pescadogallo ALBU-BRIJES, however both have slight errors.  In the first one on the left, the head crest was cut off a bit.  In the second print on the right the tail crest was cut off a bit.  They still look good:

Two prints with slight errors

NEXT

Perhaps the next step is to make the ALBU-BRIJES large, perhaps by milling them out in Styrofoam at MetalPhysic. That is the first step to making a bronze sculpture:



Imagine a big ALBU-BRIJES sculpture in downtown Albuquerque by Robinson Park, where the Oaxaca Alebrijes were in June/July 2026.
