Endless Column (after Brancusi)

thingiverse

Modular art work derived from my 123D Catch scan of the North Lion from the Art Institute of Chicago. Each module prints without support. but will be a bit scraggly underneath due to lack of said scaffold. This sculpture was intended to stack at least twenty modules tall - however after about 10 it starts to arc and lose it's balance. I have resolved to create "Flion Buttressing" to solve this problem. This will be published as a separate Thing as soon as my schedule permits the time to prototype it. If anyone wants to do it - all i ask is that the buttressing connect in some way to the bolts embedded in the lion shoulders - or at least that was my intention.
