Chimera Vase - Prosper Jouneau

thingiverse

I stumbled upon this 3D model on Sketchfab and I'm absolutely captivated by its design. After tracking down the original 3D scan, I realized that it wasn't exactly what I was looking for – a functional piece that could be used for something other than holding paper. So, I downloaded the scan, imported it into Sketchup, and embarked on a lengthy process of patching up all the holes in the model. Next, I exported it to Meshmixer to hollow out the interior, then re-imported it back into Sketchup to finalize the hollowing process and eliminate any remaining issues with the model. I'm eager to print this vase at high resolution, but I haven't been able to do so yet. Once I succeed, I'll upload photos of the printed vase before and after post-processing.
