Obviously anything doll-related may not be something to associate with dreams for some, but there are communities of doll collectors that are larger than you’d initially think.
一个洋娃娃社区开始感受到尤其是3D打印的力量，是球成成的娃娃（BJD）社区。
什么是球连接娃娃？
BJD是一个带有球接头的娃娃，并与弹性绳串在一起。大多数人都用树脂铸造并手工完成，然后才被专业绘画，这就是为什么它们具有相当沉重的pricetag。但是，这并不能阻止玩偶爱好者收集它们，绘画，开发角色和制作配件。这些娃娃的“定制”元素是将许多人带入爱好（以及它们的超级漂亮和凉爽）的原因，而“定制”产品正变得越来越广泛地在3D打印机上生产。
These resin BJDs allow you change their eyes, hair, how the face is painted, and body parts can even be mixed and matched depending on the owners requirements to help create the perfect doll for them. They even come in a wide range in sizes, from as small as under 10cm, to over a metre tall. More common sizes include 1/6 scale (around 27cm), 1/4 scale (around 45cm) , 1/3 scale (around 60cm) and larger (70cm +).
但是，这些洋娃娃已经提供的定制级别对某些人来说还不够，因为这种完美的脸型通常可能无法触及。这是RML进入他们的进入的地方。
RML允许客户使用用户友好的程序建模自己的娃娃脸，打印3D建模的面部，完成，涂漆，然后将面部和身体组装成一个完整的玩偶。
我如何自定义自己的娃娃脸？
一个名为“ RML 3D Facemaker”的用户友好程序为您提供了一系列面部功能列表，您可以使用滑动条进行操纵，您可以与计算机鼠标或触摸板一起选择并滚动并排滚动。您无需支付任何费用即可使用该程序，因此我已经开始创建自己的梦想娃娃了。这是该程序的链接，这需要Unity Web播放器和浏览器才能运行。它不会在Google Chrome中运行，但可以与其他大多数浏览器一起使用。
您可以创建各种各样的面孔，这是我自己创造的两个面孔，它们看起来截然不同。不同的滑块确实需要大量的调整才能平衡所有内容并创造一个面孔，但是它的超级有趣，尤其是当RML鼓励用户彼此共享他们的创作时。他们确实强调，用户无法在商业层面上使用自己的创作。
提供使用浏览器运行的程序特别有用，因为它不会拒绝潜在的用户，而潜在用户否则无法下载大型程序来自定义娃娃脸。
为了将完成的设计用于RML进行制作，您所要做的就是将代码在订单表单中复制并粘贴到右侧的框中，然后将代码完成。完成创建后，请确保单击“创建代码”按钮，否则您不会有代码，或者可能有错误的代码！
Just imagine if this kind of software could be used for other customised items? A chair? An ornament? One of the biggest problems when it comes to 3D printing is the lack of user friendly programs which opens doors for those who struggle with complex 3D modelling software, so this could be the way forwards for customers to customise products themselves.
将信息发送到RML后，使用3D打印机将面部打印在尼龙中。
印刷后，脸部有点粗糙，对于某些印刷的小雕像和玩具来说很好，但是在BJD的世界中，洋娃娃需要达到很高的质量，在打印阶段之后，头部，头部头部然后将其发送给一位娃娃脸的艺术家。
对于那些想自己画洋娃娃的人来说，头部也可以单独购买。
您可以将完整的娃娃带有一个身高60厘米的身体，适合娃娃的1/3类别，也将其放在BJD的平均尺寸上。This doesn’t seem that important for some, but many owners struggle with buying clothing for dolls which are odd sizes, so having your own custom doll at a size which is easy to buy accessories for makes the doll all the more appealing to potential owners.
The finished face is smooth, painted professionally, and sealed with a Japanese branded matte sealant called ‘Mr Super Clear’.
I’ve seen all too many doll collectors angst over never finding the perfect face for a character they want to customise a doll for, so it’s incredibly exciting to see that you can in fact customise a doll face to exactly what you need. In fact, it is mentioned in the FAQ that you can contact RML about them helping you to create a particular look if you can’t quite manage it using the program, so even if you struggle with the software, you can still have the doll face of your dreams!
愉快的定制！
