Horse head

thingiverse

My dad crafted the original model out of metal using a welding technique, and it's been a family favorite for years. I took some photos and brought my skills to Fusion 360, where I rebuilt the design from scratch. This scaled-down version fits perfectly on the printer, as the original model is approximately four times larger. To print each piece individually, I made sure to support the horse head in various strategic locations - its mouth, eyes, and overhangs required extra reinforcement. The head was printed upside down for optimal results, while the base was positioned on its side to ensure a smooth printing process. In contrast, the hair portion didn't need any additional supports, making it easier to print. After all the pieces were printed, I superglued them together seamlessly, resulting in a sturdy and cohesive model that's sure to impress.
