<h3>Hi all! I'm Joshua, and I'm a serial complainer.&nbsp;</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><blockquote><p><strong>Today's complaint: Usage Rights.&nbsp;</strong></p><p>This form of 3D printing is not new, I was inspired by it years ago and it recently came back into my ethos. There are other artist who have posted the files, but with extremely restrictive usage rights.&nbsp;</p><p>I am 100% fine with people selling commercial rights for their work, as I intend to do. But if you are not selling usage rights, and are not selling the product itself, what is the point of putting restrictive usage rights?&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; These files took me 30 seconds to make in Fusion 360…….. 30 seconds. Why would I put any kind of rights on that? This is going PUBLIC DOMAIN. You may use and distribute this in any way you like. I hope it makes you money, I hope you do well, and discover and create. I am sending you love wherever you are, except for the artists who Anish Kapoor the place up.

I recommend sticking with highly pigmented plastics as the translucent stuff tends to bleed together. Silk and Matte filaments work well. <i>(PRUSA USERS, JUST DOWNLOAD THE GCODE, THIS FILE TAKES 45 MINUTES TO SLICE)&nbsp;</i></p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; I have been inspired to develop different processes by which anyone with a 3D printer can make gradient, bi-color and tri-color filaments. &nbsp;That process includes custom shaped filament, custom processes for color blending, etc. None of that is included here, and will be included in my patreon in the future.</p><p>&nbsp;<strong>Be sure to follow me on TikTok @Joshuaisodd&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>*** Considerations ***</strong></p><ul><li>Do not use adhesive - it will be a bad time when you try to print it.&nbsp;</li><li>The file tends to be pretty rough on a computer. Maybe my computer is bad, but just be ready for it to take a while!&nbsp;</li><li>Please post your results so we can maybe create a library as a community?&nbsp;</li></ul>
