    So after tinkering with 123 sculpt on my ipad thought I'd try out Sculptris
    http://pixologic.com/sculptris/
    same guys who do Zbrush but its free. It is really cool. I am by no means artistic and can't sculpt in real life AT ALL. Just started playing around thought I'd post what I just made up.

    Mike, can you save as printable? i.e., .stl files?

    It seems you can save as .sc1 files or export as .obj files. I don't have a clue what you can do with either of those.

    David is correct, sc1 is a sculptris file and you can export as a .obj which if I understand correctly is pretty much a mesh. There is a workflow to be able to print but right now I am not 100% certain on the workflow but will be looking into it!

    Cura supports importing .obj and generating gcode. But I have no clue what the quality is and if I try to import that gcode into Repetier it just gives me a nice blank screen and doesn't even attempt to do a virtual 3d print.

    You should be able to convert obj to stl with quite a few different programs. I use David3, but that is a paid program. I'd be surprised if Blender can't do it.
