Couple figurine from photos

Photo to 3DPLA, white + black0.12 mm layersName base

White 3D-printed figurine of a couple holding garlands, on a black base with their initials
The job
A gift for a wedding couple: a figurine that looks like them, made from ordinary photos.
What I did
Turned the photos into clean front, side and back views, generated a 3D model from them and checked it for printing. Modelled a round base with their initials embossed, printed in a second colour.
How it turned out
Printed at 0.12 mm layers with tree supports so the folds and garlands stay crisp. About 11 hours on the printer, then supports removed by hand.
Size
About 15 cm tall
Material
PLA, white figure on a black base
Layers
0.12 mm, 3 walls
Print time
