Catnip 420 Garden Stake

myminifactory

While planting some catnip this weekend, I decided it would be fun to create a garden stake with a cat smoking a joint. I came across a picture that really caught my eye, but it didn't scale down very well. It's okay for my purposes and I thought maybe someone else could use it too. Notes: On my first version, I used 2mm of base white followed by 1.5mm of black. Even though the details were small, 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 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. I traced the major outlines freehand on a second layer. I exported that layer and imported it into inkscape. Using [Trace Bitmap], I created 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! I hope you all appreciate my hard work!
