Tux Earrings, Full-Color Linux Penguin Earrings

thingiverse

It's tux in color! I created this project using SolidWorks, which surprisingly proves to be an ineffective software package for designing penguins mechanically. With time constraints, the design appears slightly sloppy but remains adorable. The model was 3D printed with a ProJet 4500 and achieved pleasing results! You can acquire earring hooks from Amazon through this link: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BHIJ76/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - they fit seamlessly into a hole drilled at the top of the design. To make matters even better, I came up with TuxLinks (Cufflinks) that are based on this same design. They can be found on Thingiverse here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:463607 You may also want to get hold of Tux model all by itself through this link:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:463592 Have fun!
