Cuddly Cactus #Tinkercharacters

This object was created using Tinkercad, a web-based computer-aided design (CAD) tool. https://www.tinkercad.com/things/2rCrUGOpuCx #Tinkercharacter #idkwheretoputthishashtaglol There are three files available for download. Cuddly cactus was designed and sent from Tinkercad, but I made a mistake and didn't split it correctly. Instead, I uploaded the two separate STL files, one for the top and one for the base. This should make printing easier. This design was submitted in an attempt to participate in a character design competition. Good luck to everyone involved! I got the idea for this cactus after meeting a mutual friend through another friend of mine. My close friend had created a painting featuring a cute, sad-looking cactus who longed for hugs. I uploaded her artwork with the first print, but it was missing its "love pokes." I fell in love with the little cactus and wanted to bring him into the 3D world. My friend has many more characters that I'm excited to try and recreate in this space. I've developed a huge passion for designing and 3D printing. My new goal is to become my own boss, and I believe Tinkercad, MeshMixer, and other CAD tools make anything possible within the laws of our reality. A shout-out goes to @pulpfoto for creating this adorable character. Let's get it out there and give him the love he deserves!
