A Mary Poppins Parrot umbrella topper, created for a cosplay prop and designed to hold a small Bluetooth speaker. Print Settings Printer: Reach3D Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: .2 Infill: 20% Post-Printing After printing, the two halves were joined over the umbrella handle using 3M double sided foam tape. Electronics were secured inside using the same. A small port was cut in the back to allow a stick to be inserted to turn off/on the Bluetooth speaker. The seam was then filled with epoxy putty, and left to harden. Once set up, the power switch stick, was stuck into place with silicone caulk and painted over. leaving a small "bump" that can be pressed to power the speaker. How I Designed This The base shape came from a 3d scan by William Van Valkenberg I found here: http://www.123dapp.com/catch/Mary-Poppins-Parrot-Umbrella/4039284 I imported this into blender and scaled it to the correct size. Next I used the re-mesh tool to generate a more uniform mesh. Then chopped it in half, and subtracted some space inside for electronics. The left side is a mirrored version of the right side mesh. The "fill" parts were created to give the Bluetooth speaker cube a place to stick firmly.
