Linux Tux keychain/necklace

thingiverse

As a self-proclaimed nerd, I set out to showcase my passion for *NIX by creating something truly unique with my 3D printer. First up was designing an emblem that would proudly display my love for Linux - initially planned as a keychain but later morphed into a stunning necklace once I experimented with other print jobs. As soon as I get my hands on a camera, expect to see high-quality images of the final product! Made entirely in Autodesk Inventor, I received invaluable assistance from Adobe Illustrator. Follow these steps to replicate this fantastic design: Step 1: Find an exceptional vector graphic online Step 2: Utilize Adobe Illustrator to export your design as a precise .DWG file Step 3: Open the .DWG file within Autodesk Inventor for expert-level manipulation Step 4: Transfer the imported sketch into a blank canvas for optimal viewing and adjustments Step 5: Extrude the newly imported sketch and its corresponding internal space to achieve three-dimensional clarity Step 6: Create a seamless circular base, allowing for maximum depth and dimension through masterful extrusion techniques
