3D Printable Rose
thingiverse
This is a 3D printable rose with a separate base I made for Valentine's Day. This was also a project to determine the capabilities of the Makerbot Digitizer. The base has a pilot hole so you can drill out your own properly sized hole for whatever you want to stick the flower on, or you could just do a boolean subtraction right down the middle of the base in a program like blender. If you drill out a hole, I recommend you do so slowly after you attach the base to the flower. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator Z18 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Notes: The holes will likely need to be cleaned out. Print the base with the insertion side up for best results. I recommend MakerBot True Red and True Green for the parts. Post-Printing If you are drilling a pilot hole, do so slowly and after the base has been attached to the flower. I was able to successfully drill ~1/8" hole. Keep the flower stable during the process, and go slow. For cleanup, I recommend just using a razor for the support materials, and possibly even sanding. For best results, use dissolvable filament. How I Designed This Scanning the Rose... I began making this rose by first creating a mock-up by hand out of modeling clay. I used a MakerBot Digitizer to scan the clay model into the computer, and refined it a bit in Blender. I drew the base in Autodesk Inventor.
