PLA WORKS!

 I have put basic textures for the model, I might need to reconsider colour palette before I start painting.

I also printed the base for the snow globe to cover the part of the jar lid. My demnsions were too big for either printer, so I had to half it and then glue it. I printed one in resin, in case PLA won't work again. Howver, I got postiviely supprised: the FDM printere worked! Turned out easier shaped was more likely to print with PLA material.

I am very happy with how it came out! I was also very thankful for the lab technician to help me with the FDM. 

I tested a bit of paint on the coral and relised I can not use watercolours if I want a double coat. I had to either use oils or get acrylics.

For the rest of the week I plan to take care of dissertaion and the documentation for this project. Then from Monday, I will likely:

 - print additional base to lift the model in the jar

 - paint the model

 - accomplish textures for game model

 - set up the scene in unreal

 - finsih the snow globe and needed bits

 - edit the video of the process form all the material I recorder so far
 - if there is enough tiem, pose the model

I WILL MAKE IT ON TIME, I HAVE TO.
