Catnip 420 Garden Stake

cults3d

While planting some catnip this weekend, I thought it would be cute to have a garden stake with a cat smoking a joint. I found this picture that I really liked, but it doesn't scale down too well. It's okay for my purposes and I thought maybe someone else could use it. Notes: On my first version, I had 2mm of the base white followed by 1.5mm of black. As small as the details were, that obscured the lines, so I remade it with the same 2mm of base white and 0.2mm of black. If you print this at 0.2mm layer height, change colors right before it starts printing layer 10 - assuming your slicer starts counting layers at 0, otherwise change colors right before layer 11. How I Designed This I imported the original cartoon into gimp and traced the major outlines freehand on a second layer. I exported that layer and imported it into inkscape where I used the Trace Bitmap tool to create a vector image and exported it as an .svg. That was imported into FreeCAD and finally extruded. Once the stake was created at the proper size and shape, the image model was scaled down to fit that. A lot of work went into creating this simple garden stake!
