Cloning has always seemed like one of humanity’s most ambitious biological goals. Obtaining an exact copy, at the genetic level, of an individual seems like a fantasy, but thanks to the 3d printers we can achieve a similar effect with a lot of plastic in between.
This is the goal set by Iván Miranda, a YouTuber who has created the necessary structure to shape a replica of his figure and has achieved it. He has documented the entire process in a video in which he reveals that he has had to invest some 108 hours of work so that everything would come to fruition. We are talking about a figure that responds to its own scale, so you can imagine how arduous the task has been.
As collected in Mein-MMO, the problems have been constant, starting with the heat of the bed where you have made the impression. The process used responds to the name of FDM and consists of stacking layers of plastic, one on top of the other, to complete the model that has been introduced into the printer. Such an amount of plastic has been required that we are talking about 4,375 layerswhich were placed for 76 of the 108 hours invested.
Reddish in color and made from PLA, his figure had to be intervened with floor heating cables to try to counteract the enormous heat that was being generated. Although the result is not perfect, Miranda has confessed that he is more than satisfied with the result and that he can have a replica of himself at home.
