Waves

thingiverse

Here's an abstract sculpture that reminds me of the motion of waves. This is one part that you have to hold in your hands to fully appreciate the design. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 12 Notes: Designed in OpenSCAD and ZBrush, sliced in Simplify3D, printed on a MakerBot Replicator2 with Elmer's Craft Bond glue stick on a glass build plate with PushPlastic filament and the following additional settings: No. shells = 4 top/bottom and 1 on the sides Feedrate = 40 Travel Feed = 55 Temperature = 230C I scaled it to 90% in order to fit in my printer. It took 10.5 hours to print. Post-Printing I did some light sanding to clean up the final part. How I Designed This This design started in OpenSCAD where I created 12 nested partial spheres. I took the STL file into ZBrush where I used radial symmetry and the Move tool to transform the original shape. Then I brought it into Simplify 3D for slicing.
