Low Poly 3DConnexion SpaceNavigator Cover

<p>In a case of form taking the upper hand on function, I present this "low poly" 3DConnexion SpaceNavigator cover.</p> <p>I wanted to do something more creative for the cover than my previous design. I had this idea that it should look somewhat irregular, but highly geometric, like a crystal. I was also inspired by the blue LEDs on the device and some translucent filament I had on hand. So I wanted to bring all that together.</p> <p>To be fair this is not really a low poly design, there's actually a lot of polys here, but the overall effect came out looking primitive and geometric. I even spent some time picking an infill that complemented the design. The triangular infill at 5% density gives an affect that somewhat resembles cracks in a natural material.</p> <p>If you print it, share a picture. I'm curious how it will look in different colors.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Sliced for and printed in PETG.</p> <p>I intended this to be able to print without supports when printed upside down. I also used the Triangle infill at 5% to minimize additional material while still providing a modicum of support.</p>
