Daily earring #43: MIR

thingiverse

The initial earrings design from thingiverse.com/thing:7120 was inspired by NASA's model (Johnson Space Center, J.Woodfill). However, the intricate details were too small to print at the desired scale. Thus, I made several modifications to the solar panels, connections and other elements. Consequently, it now bears little resemblance to the original design. Nonetheless, removing the earrings from the support remains challenging. The Sketchup file is shared as a work-in-progress. A larger print size might alleviate this issue.
