Cat statuette

thingiverse

I was inspired to create this statuette after discovering an old wooden toy at my grandparents' place. I suspect it was crafted by one of my ancestors using a lathe and a few wooden spheres and rods for the feet, ears, and other details. To give it a vintage look, I decided to print it with brassfill and copperfill using my MMU2 3D printer, which can handle multi-material prints. With some modifications to the software, I was able to achieve impressive results. While it looks great in black and white PLA as well, I think the combination of materials really brings out its unique character.
