Mandelbrot picture
thingiverse
Ever since discovering the Benoit Mandelbrot set in the August 1985 Scientific American issue, I've been captivated by its intricate complexity, even at close zoom levels. Despite its complexity, it cannot be fully depicted with a 3D printer, but here is my attempt. The rectangular layers measure 0.6mm, appropriate for a 0.3mm layer height. The 60mm x 60mm file is named Mandelbrot_600_x_600.zip. The green and black photo showcases a two-color print of the zipped .stl file, while the red and black photo displays a program-generated image created during the .stl's development. Regrettably, the .stl file is quite large at 121MB due to the lack of a simplification method for the mesh.
With this file you will be able to print Mandelbrot picture with your 3D printer. Click on the button and save the file on your computer to work, edit or customize your design. You can also find more 3D designs for printers on Mandelbrot picture.
