Origami Duck

thingiverse

A far more complex model than the Origami Ship located on Thingiverse: 753562. This customized design allows for changes in angles and "paper" thickness, yet demands careful editing of the code to reflect modified vertices originating from real folds. To ensure connectivity while adjusting angles, I had to decipher how to fold along arbitrary lines. Robert Lang's origami model serves as inspiration - learn more on my blog: kitwallace.tumblr.com/post/65603134110/day-3-origami As I attempted folding each face, I discovered that several of the origami faces are not genuinely planar. To compensate, an extra fold is required near the neck for one such non-planar surface. Instructions: Due to fragility in the wings, it was essential to thicken the paper. Additionally, a minor clean-up on the beak was necessary. Furthermore, printed items might require base alignment ("lie flat" with Repetier), which will be automatically completed during printing using 100% infill and reduced speed settings with Prusa I3 3D printers.
