Full Nautilus Shell (project shellter)

youmagine

I was inspired by tc_fea's original model, shared in October 2011. It's an impressive piece and I've always wanted to create a complete shell of my own. This is a scaled-up version, built at 2.5 times its original size, with both sides fully realized. The project also served as an experiment for me, using a small fan to blow across the build platform while still employing a heated bed. As you can see from the picture showing inside prints, the effect of having a fan or not is evident - one half appears looser than the other. However, I found that it had no impact on the outside layer but it gives you an idea of what to expect.
