Separation Agreement

thingiverse

So my wife and I are going through a divorce and for this valentine's day, I decided I would make her a small humorous gift. It is a separation agreement ripped in half with a loop on the top of each half. It is a play on the "breakable" heart shaped lockets you may see. I doubt she'll like it (much less wear it) but I made it to lighten the mood/soften the blow of a great relationship that needs to move on. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: Standard .2 mm Infill: 35% could be less Post-Printing Printer goop caused by user calibration How I Designed This Don't Over Think It So I was trying to copy old scroll images on the web and wondering how to import images and trace the outline, when I realized all I needed to do was to sketch a line then extrude it. So I drew a line in the shape of a scroll from the side perspective and extruded it. I added text which was moved and rotated into postion and then using polyline, drew a crooked line down the middle. Then using the split object command, I used the crooked line as the splitting entity and wha-la, there it was. I added loops (torus split in half) regrouped the text and combined. By exporting each half as a selection to Meshmixer and auto-repairing, the prints came out fine the first time. I did scale down by 50%, flipped one "side" and printed both "halves" at the same time. Note: I needed to ungroup the text and regroup the text to combine with the scroll body and loops on each side of the line. (separation -> sepa & ration)
