Anvil

thingiverse

<p> While waiting for replacement pneumatic fittings for my Ender 3 (the one at the extruder broke and wouldn't retain the bowden tube anymore), and printing the latest Lightsaber design to make sure it's all good <i>before</i> I upload it (couple kinks, but I think it's with my prints and not the models), I decided to model an anvil following Blender Guru's YouTube tutorial series to improve my modeling skills, and because I just wanted an anvil. Also, since I love to make things, and Hephaestus is the god of smithing, I felt it was appropriate. And I wanted an anvil. </p> <p> I used a pic of an Emerson anvil for reference. This is an approximation just for fun. I'll probably remix this with a gear embossed on the side, like the one in my logo. And I also want to do a Sword in the Stone sort of thing, so there will be a remix with that, eventually. </p> <p> I scaled this one down for printing since my original is something like 14 ft across (I didn't care about scale and started with a 100 cm plane). This one was supposed to be about 2.5 ft across but is coming up in Cura at about 2.5 in across, so depending on if you want this the size of a Benchy or not, you'll probably want to play with the scale in Cura so it's what you want. </p>
