watermelon / 西瓜

thingiverse

I'm sorry that it's not convenient to provide files. I only share videos and photos. The weather has been extremely hot recently, so I will make a watermelon to cool off. I originally thought that watermelon is a very simple triangular shape and should take no time at all. However, I didn't expect the watermelon skin part to get stuck halfway, requiring me to change my approach to overcome it. It can be done with laminated stretching or boundary surfaces. To make the overall watermelon more complete and reduce polishing time, I printed it diagonally, sacrificing some of the support of the watermelon skin in the process. Although this still results in some polishing, this is already the quickest way I've found to do it. When I painted it, I thought it would be like a simple watermelon toy. But the watermelon skin part turned out unexpectedly realistic, perhaps because the texture was based on real watermelons to make it more similar. This time, the object is quite simple, but it's not easy to achieve, despite being straightforward. Unfortunately, this summer heat relief item seems ineffective, as I'm still feeling very hot.
