Flatbottom Honeysphere

thingiverse

While experimenting with stretchlets, I explored printing objects featuring thin walls. For this specific model, I utilized a honeycomb structure to fill a sphere and ensured the base was flat for easier printing. Despite the challenges posed by overhangs, the honeycomb design's resilience showcases perseverance as an essential life skill, while reminding us that imperfection is embraced in nature (like wasp nests and beehives). Before printing, flip the STL file so the flat side faces down. I also included "Honeysphere Half.stl" for those who prefer a non-flat sphere. You could potentially glue two halves together to create a complete sphere. For optimal results, print on a Replicator 2 using a higher temperature (260C instead of the standard 230C).
