Romanesco broccoli (fractal broccoflower)

thingiverse

**Want a fractal broccoli but too lazy to actually get groceries?? 3D print it like it's the 90's again!!!** **Why?** You may be asking why?… to be honest; I don't know… just felt the call to 3D model this deep inside me on a Saturday night at 2 am. (and it looks cool on my desk so why not??)  **Disclaimer:** Feel free to ignore the slicer warnings, it printed fine on lychee slicer and an Anycubic M3, there is some little faces orientation artefacts (I think because it is a super complex shape and the 700+MB file is a bit much for lychee to check maybe… couldn't pin point the issue) but they were not strong enough to actually show up in the print FYI :). **How?** **The highest resolution mesh (in case you want MAXIMUM details) is inside Brocolli_FullRes_slicer_scene.zip.** It's a lychee slicer file, ready to be printed with 3 broccoli stages pre-aligned and supported for you :) (I couldn't upload the stl of the full res version, it's 700+MB) In case you're using the Stls, by default you only get one layer of broccoli (each layer has 6 rows of those fractal thingies). if you want to stack them like I did in the pictures, just drop the stl another time, scale, move and rotate to align the new one as a seamless object from the old one (see Brocolli_FullRes_slicer_scene.zip or this screenshot for more guidance :)
