Blue Winged Koopa Shell

thingiverse

Of all the Koopa shell models I've ever seen, Conceptify has undoubtedly created the most impressive remix of "Turtle Shell Racer High Power Edition Repaired" by red112, which originally was "Turtle Shell Racer High Power Edition" by Skimbal... But being me, I wasn't completely satisfied with a few aspects. I refined the bottom and added a flat spot for easier printing. I designed the Top shell and bottom shell each as its own separate piece, instead of two. (the seam was really bothering me) I reduced the filament usage by hollowing out the bottom shell. I subtly carved out a little on the top of the bottom shell so that the top shell would fit in better and conceal the seam. I handled this part somewhat lazily, so some sanding will be required, but it's hidden under the shell, so perfection isn't necessary. I removed the squared section for the wings to print on. I thought it looked bad and was unnecessary. Spike remains unchanged, but I decided to include it anyway. I'll post pictures once it's printed.
