Creating a clear, professional job post is the best way to ensure you get a freelancer who understands tolerances and assembly, rather than just someone who knows how to cut a mesh. Here is a template you can use: Project Title 3D Modeler Needed: Character Keying and Splitting for Multi-Color 3D Printing Project Description Overview I have a 3D character model that I need prepared for 3D printing. The goal is to "disintegrate" or split the model into multiple separate parts based on color (eyes, face, clothes, hair, etc.). These parts must be designed to be printed individually and then assembled/attached perfectly after printing. Scope of Work Mesh Splitting: Divide the single mesh into logical components based on color boundaries. Keying & Notching: Implement "plug and socket" (male/female) joints for all connecting parts to ensure easy alignment and structural stability during assembly. Tolerance Management: Apply appropriate offsets (approx. 0.15mm to 0.2mm) to the joints so that parts fit together smoothly without heavy sanding. Watertight Integrity: Ensure every individual part is a manifold, "watertight" STL/OBJ ready for slicing. Scale: Ensure the final files are scaled correctly for [Insert your desired height, e.g., 150mm] printing. Deliverables Individual STL or OBJ files for each color-coded component. The master source file (ZBrush ZTL, Blender, or STEP). A simple assembly guide or screenshot showing how the keys fit together. Ideal Freelancer Experience with ZBrush (Live Boolean) or Blender. Deep understanding of FDM or Resin 3D printing constraints. Prior experience in "Keying" or "Cut and Plug" for character statues/collectibles. Pro-Tips for your Post: Mention the Material: Specify if you are printing in Resin (SLA) or Plastic (FDM). Resin usually requires tighter tolerances and drainage holes if parts are hollowed. Attachments: Upload a low-resolution screenshot of the character so freelancers can see the complexity of the clothing and face. The "Secret" Word: Ask them to include the word "Print-Ready" in their bid to ensure they actually read your requirements. Would you like me to help you calculate the best scale for your print based on your printer's build plate size?
