Jean Gordon's Carving: One Surface! Double Moebius Strip

thingiverse

This amazing carving, only one surface, is my favourite of my late mother's carvings. Blows my mind that this could be carved from one piece of wood. This probably indicates a great lack of aesthetic sense - or that I'm an engineer! OK - a tautology, I admit. Anyway... I found this very difficult to scan. In the end I 'bolted it together' which can be seen in one of the photos. Scanned with an Einscan S (Scanmaster Plus). The scanning shortcomings - and the bolts - meant quite a lot of work in Meshmixer. Sliced in Simplify 3D and printed full size on a Prusa Original i3 Mk2 in PLA. Also printed half size on Kodama Trinus in PLA and 64% size in a Robox in ABS. Print Settings Printer: Prusa Original i3 Mk2 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 20% Notes: That shown made in PLA, also successfully printed in ABS (on a CEL Robox). In both cases I printed with the model upright as in the stl file. Post-Printing Just the normal support removal and then some cleaning up with a half round needle file.
