Unusual Figurine

thingiverse

Three stacks of hexagons, each one uniquely adorned with mysterious holes on every side that form a network of passageways. When viewed through these passageways, a transparent connection between sides becomes apparent. Instructions Step 1: Craft a single hexagon to your desired size by applying an extrusion technique. Step 2: Focus on a single side and activate the create sketch function. Then, draw a smaller hexagon and apply extrusion to it so that it passes through the adjacent side and forms a hollow cavity. Fillet each edge of these secondary hexagons and repeat this process for all six sides of the larger structure. Step 3: Double click on the topmost side of the largest hexagon, prompting the create sketch action. Following this, construct another hexagon slightly smaller than its counterpart, then extrude it into a layered format that tapers as it rises from the first tier. Step 4: Apply step two to this newly formed second layer in order to add additional voids through each side of this smaller unit, thereby ensuring complete passage from top to bottom. Step 5: Initiate construction on a smaller hexagon to become the final addition. When successfully created, it forms yet another thin, elevated plate which is now stacked directly beneath its precursor. The repetition in size will grant an ascending visual impact. Step 6: Replicate step two, focusing now on all four remaining unengraved areas to further strengthen this towering three-dimension form by creating more holes at a deeper level than the others before them. Step 7: Safeguard your intricate and somewhat eerie invention through systematic storage in order to prevent physical disfigurement during printing processes; as the supports required can lead to loss of overall shape integrity if severed incorrectly - though simply snipping the base off the figure provides enough evidence needed when creating such a structure as these for demonstration purposes, it may vary from case-to-case. Step 8: With every piece completely detached from their surrounding material matrix (with care being exercised at all times so that no vital fragments break or snap), your creation should resemble some form of ethereal, surreal entity whose interior can clearly be perceived once freed from what binds it; in actuality however the supports are removed by carefully cutting out a box-shaped segment and then pulling away all that remains.
