I created this design in Fusion 360 using the sketch tool to accurately trace the reference image I brought in. Next, I printed the Ankh on my Robo3D R1 printer at a layer height of 0.3mm because smaller layer heights don't offer significant gains. Since supports weren't needed, the print settings were straightforward. My wife then expertly sanded the Ankh to achieve a smooth finish. She primed it and applied gold spray paint for a rich, golden color. To add depth to the hieroglyphs, she used a wash to darken the cracks.
