For more of my designs, head over to my website: https://3domcontact.wixsite.com/3dom I had a task in mind - creating a small weight for a hanging sprinkler that keeps it upright. In the end, I settled on the simplest form possible, a water droplet. My main reasons were its ease of creation and discreetness in the backyard. It also brought a smile to my face. Below, you'll find the GCode I used and a Fusion 360 Project Archive if you want to adjust the size. Feel free to reach out for assistance if needed. This model is a single half, so just duplicate it in your slicer to get both sides. I chose to go with this orientation because it allowed continuous layers and material runs through the loop end. This adds extra strength, as the structure isn't dependent on a single layer - if one fails, the whole loop would too.
