The Kaws Companion project (now with gloves)

thingiverse

Currently printing one of these intricate models (as seen in thumbnail) for a showcase at my school's new exhibit space, featuring "newk3_fixed.stl", all on a MakerBot Replicator II running cutting-edge firmware. Opting for zero infill and 0.15mm precision, I'm seeing exceptional results overall. Taking you behind the scenes of a file's life cycle, from inception to completion - aiming to wrap up by week's end, possibly completing fine details en route through airport terminals. A die-hard fan of Kaws' bold artwork, but unable to afford his masterpieces - created every detail from scratch as an intense test of my skills. Inspired directly by the renowned Companion sculpture by Kaws, a visual icon in its own right. Since I don't actually possess one of these exclusive pieces, my recreation is solely based on captured images. Many thanks go out to a kind email contributor who sparked this unique creation. Hoping your companion enjoys their thoughtfully designed gift!
