I’m looking for a skilled 3D designer experienced with hard-surface modeling and 3D printing to recreate a realistic printable model of a Bradford White water heater product. Reference product: Bradford White Product Reference [login to view URL] I already have: an FBX model that can be used as a starting point (divided into parts), 2 reference videos of the real product. The existing FBX is missing details and has incorrect mesh in several areas. The designer can either: improve/refine the existing FBX, or rebuild the model from scratch if faster/better. Main parts that need proper detailing: top blower assembly ([login to view URL]) control box and lower components, realistic product details. Most side ports/connections only need decorative cylindrical outputs and do not need engineering-level accuracy. Requirements: clean printable geometry, parts suitable for 3D printing, realistic proportions/details matching the original product, quick communication and iteration. This is mainly a visual/printable replica, not a mechanically functional engineering model.

Hello I can recreate and refine your Bradford White water heater model into a high-quality, print-ready hard-surface 3D asset. With strong experience in hard-surface modeling and 3D printing workflows, I will repair or rebuild the provided FBX, fix mesh issues, and add missing mechanical details using your references and videos. Key components like the blower assembly, control box, and lower units will be accurately modeled with clean topology and proper part separation for printing. The final output will be a watertight, optimized model with correct proportions, realistic detailing, and fully 3D-printable geometry, along with fast iteration support for refinements.

Hey, I can help with this. I work full-time as a 3D artist, mainly focused on detailed printable models, so I’m very comfortable with hard-surface cleanup, rebuilding inaccurate geometry, and preparing models properly for 3D printing. From the images and references you uploaded, I can already see fairly significant differences between the current FBX and the actual product, especially in terms of surface detail on some of the structural components. Depending on how close you want this to match the real unit, the amount of work can change quite dramatically, so I think we first need to properly establish the level of detail and accuracy expectations. I’m comfortable either refining the existing FBX or rebuilding sections from scratch if that ends up being the cleaner/faster approach. If you’re interested, feel free to contact me and we can go over the references, current model quality, and the exact level of realism/detail you want from the final printable version.

I understand you need a realistic, 3D printable model of a Bradford White water heater, building upon an existing FBX and reference videos. I have successfully delivered detailed, print-ready hard-surface models for complex machinery, ensuring accurate geometry and optimized mesh for manufacturing. My approach will involve meticulously refining the provided FBX, focusing on adding missing details and correcting mesh errors to achieve a high level of realism. Alternatively, if a complete rebuild is more efficient, I can create the model from scratch in Blender, ensuring clean topology and watertight surfaces suitable for FDM or SLA printing. I will deliver STL and OBJ files, clearly separated into printable components as per your existing FBX structure. What specific tolerances are critical for the interlocking parts to ensure a snug fit during assembly? Ready to start as soon as you confirm scope.
