Steven Universe Lars Skull Earring 1"

thingiverse

I created this model based on my favorite character from Steven Universe, who wears gauged ears with distinctive earrings in the horror club episode. I was inspired by Lars' skull-shaped, inverted teardrop earrings. This is my first time modeling something completely from scratch, and it turned out great when printed, despite some issues with tangled filament that affected the top layers. These custom-made plugs are designed for 1" gauged ears but can be scaled up to fit any plug size. If someone could help me refine this design to achieve a smoother finish, I'd really appreciate it! The model prints well, but the rough appearance is a bit disappointing. Here's my printing setup: Printer: Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 20-30% Note: I used 30% infill to ensure a smooth top layer, but the filament got tangled anyway. Post-printing steps: Sand and seal the edges to prevent discomfort and bacterial growth. The thin and sharp top and bottom layers will require some sanding before sealing to achieve comfort.
