Hi Everybody,
I'm 3dprinting some prototypes but i will never be on time for the deadline so i need to render the 3d model to make it look like as if it was 3d printed with a transparent filament (the printer is an ultimaker 3).
I use corona for C4D and I'm trying to get that effect but i don't know how to set the material to show all the filament layers and the imperfections.
I attach a picture so that you can understand what result I am trying to achieve.
Thank you all for helping.

I'm a Max user, but I would try with a procedural noise map stretched along one axis. This can be used as a bump map (or displacement!) to produce those grooves. Then low reflection and refraction glossiness, and maybe it can be usable after some tweaking. :)
Attaching an example.

I agree with Marcin, the noise map stretched is a good way to go. ;)
