Here's a small bowl crafted from one of the intricately designed Thomson Problem Ornaments detailed in thing:393712 - Still More Thomson Ornaments. To shape this unique piece, the original ornament was transformed by flattening its base and then pressing down on the top to create a distinctively rounded bowl. Adding an extra touch of elegance, a raised or incised pattern is meticulously crafted onto the surface. For users interested in reproducing this stunning design, OpenSCAD code has been made available for their convenience. **Step-by-Step Instructions** To successfully print this captivating piece, simply follow these guidelines: 1. **Direct Printing**: The bowl can be printed directly on the build platform without any complications. 2. **External Support Recommended**: To perfectly capture the fine details on the underside of the bowl, we strongly recommend printing it with its base resting against the external support mechanism. Take a look at the image provided above to see exactly what this looks like.
