I AM STARSTUFF

thingiverse

This popular tattoo phrase "I am starstuff" is depicted in a unique necklace or bracelet design, represented by protein diagrams forming a linked chain. The chain can be printed at different sizes; for instance, at 8 inches, the width of each link will measure approximately 1.5 mm. Two versions are provided: a straight one for easy modification and stack printing, and a folded version suitable for large-scale printing. To enhance the small version's appearance, Blender's "Displace" tool can be used to thicken the bonds without causing joint overlaps. The design requires an industrial printer with support material capabilities; however, newer MakerBot models can handle two-material printing. Alternatively, a more accessible design is in development for those without advanced systems.
