Variations on a Chicken

thingiverse

These ceramic-inspired chickens are based on a derivative from the Thingiverse project (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:474959). The triangular edges in the STL file have been reinterpreted to form a wireframe, which has also led to the creation of two additional variations by manipulating the solid model with additive and subtractive operations. To bring these chickens to life, I used OpenSCAD code. Following the printing process, I directly printed the designs onto my build platform, where I encountered some minor overhangs in the tail area - fortunately, it was easy to remove any unwanted curls of plastic that arose during printing.
