Flat Gem 8 Facets

thingiverse

This print was a labor of love, crafted as part of my first foray into 3D printing. To perfect it, I painstakingly created an exact clay replica, but wanted something even more precise. Ten hours were spent mastering Blender, a time-consuming process that ultimately paid off with the creation of this stunning gem. With Cura's lowest layer setting, it prints out remarkably smoothly. However, to achieve the desired scale, I'll need to refine my skills in Blender - scaling is an area where I still have room for improvement. Perhaps this tutorial will prove useful to someone else looking to overcome similar challenges!
