Three Succulents

thingiverse

Here are three succulents growing in my garden. They were effectively "plucked" out of the ground with Autocad's 123D Catch and Meshmixer. Whether this is a useful exercise or not is a question but the programs are capable of producing extremely detailed replicas. These three examples were done using the lowest resolution available; higher resolutions produce details which the printer cannot reproduce. Small succulents with thick leaves were chosen. All are presented at full size. They are: Haworthia_attenuata.stl Echeveria_hybrid.stl Euphorbia_lactea_cristata.stl Images comparing the models to the actual plants are shown at the lower left. Instructions All the files can be printed with or without rafts. The smallest plant, Haworthia attenuata, prints quickly but can be scaled up to more clearly show the ribbing of the leaves.
