discworld

cults3d

Inspired by Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, this is a 3d printable model of the discworld travelling through space and time upon four elephants riding on the back of a giant turtle. It is mashup of several bits from different places. The turtle came from another thingiverse model of a garden turtle by Pmowes - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:421809 I scaled it and flattened the top to stand the elephants on. The four elephants came from a thingiverse model by ringmaster of a parade elephant. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:38573 I scaled the elephants and fused four together to fit on top of the Turtle. I also flattened the tops of the elephants to give a better base for glueing on the disc. The disc world itself I made in two parts. The rimfall I designed from scratch using Cheetah 3d - I am something of a n00b in Cheetah 3d, but the finished article is close to the effect I was seeking. The disc I modified from the other disc world model on thingiverse by aesedepece. I wanted something with more height and definition. This is his original model - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:28509 All the parts have been through NetFabb so they should work on most printers.
