Flat Stanley

thingiverse

Here he is in all his glory - good ol' Flat Stanley! I started with a JPG of Stanley and converted it to a .stl at www.selva3d.com. Then, I imported the .stl into TinkerCAD, where I realized that if I printed him as is, his eyes, nose, and mouth would just fall out. No one wants a faceless Stanley :(. First thing I did was duplicate the .stl file in TinkerCAD, which we'll call "Top Stanley". I shrunk Original Stanley's z-height down to 1mm and surrounded him with shapes, also 1mm in height, so that all his outside geometry touched another piece of geometry. I built him out so that he was inside a 115mmx85.25mm rectangle comprised of overlapping shapes. I grouped all the shapes. I turned this grouping of shapes into a hole and aligned it over another rectangle 85.25x115x1mm. I grouped them, resulting in "Bottom Stanley". I adjusted T.S.'s height, aligned him, and finally grouped the two Stanleys together. This thing was made with Tinkercad. Edit it online at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/40aESoGuc4F.
