Is 3d Printing limited to Genesis 2+ figures ?

 

If not, when will 3d Printing my figures / renders become availble ?

The first figure I want to 3d Print, in the months ahead is "Sara" or "Lee"

The others I want to 3d print as well is Aiko 3, Victoria 4 and V4.2 figures.

Attached image is "Sara / Lee", Froggy Fae.

    You would need some work to prepare them for 3D printing, they have to be 'watertight'.

    From memory, there are also EULA issues with 3D printing DAZ models. If you contract it out to a third party, you're violating the EULA by sending them the mesh.

    Or something.

    I can't remember, and I'm definitely not a law... guy.

    What about the 3d Printing service from DAZ that is "Coming soon" ?

    I haven't seen anything about it on the site about 3D printing recently. I had prepared a model quite a while ago, but, I'm assuming that they've either dropped 3D printing or postponed it. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if they had dropped the idea (especially if there would be complications with EULA). Hopefully, a mod can shed some light on this.

    The EULA appers to allow for submitting files to a print service, as long as it's only for the purpose of producing the print for you, and it's non-commercial: "Additionally, the user may not grant other entities or individuals the right to produce such physical representations of the Content except for the sole purpose of providing the print to the User for their personal use."

    Some months back Daz removed the links to their 3D printing announcement. Many of us (me included) had noted that only allowing non-commercial use was a non-starter. I think also Daz realized that if they were to allow for commercial use, and charge a higher price to cover royalties, that they'd need to provide files absolutely ready for printing, including fills, honeycombing, etc. that reduce the volume of material while maintaining structural integrity. That would be a lot of extra work for them.
