Solid base & stem for flower by tc_fea

thingiverse

I wanted to create a realistic tc_fea flower, complete with a stem that looks like it's grown from the earth. To achieve this look, I started by solidifying the bottom of the flower, making sure it had a sturdy base before moving on to the next step. Next, I designed a stem that would seamlessly attach to the flower, giving it a natural and effortless appearance. I'm particularly pleased with how the stem turned out – its rough texture adds a touch of realism that's hard to replicate with smooth, precision-crafted parts. While it might have been easier to pause between layers and let them cool completely, I opted for a more organic approach, allowing the print to flow smoothly from one layer to the next. The filament used for the stem is a vibrant lime green PLA from Just PLA, perfect for creating a pop of color that draws the eye.
