Cthulhu Idol

thingiverse

A Cthulhu statuette from "The Call of Cthulhu" by Howard Philips Lovecraft. Made with intention of printing with bronzefill and aging it with salt and vinegar mixture to produce a patina. Printing Settings Printer: Qidi Tech 1 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 15% Notes: Intention to print with bronzefill Post-Printing Print with bronzefill Polish the surface using rock tumbler filled with small brass screws, or using sanding (optional - I actually skipped that step to get effects like in the picture - Cthulhu looks better if not shiny imho). Age the statuette using salt and vinegar vapors to create greenish patina: Mix salt with vinegar Pour a little into a pot so the bottom is covered Put the bronzefill figurine in the pot Cover the pot with a lid - rusting will begin instantly
