Low-Poly Ice Berg (Spiral Vase Test)

Just a quick thing I made with inspiration from Makers Muse. I feel like this could be some corporate trophy or something, lol.

It's designed to print well in spiral vase mode, which is a really fun thing to do because you can get fast prints that look good and use very small amounts of material. The only downside is that the print is very weak due to the thin walls. The example I have only used 22g of material!

Not much more to say about this one. Have fun printing!

How I Designed This

Meshmixer stuff

I imported a plane object, generated a complex in order to increase poly-count, and then I decreased it a little bit and started moving around certain vertices by hand until it looked good. I really have no idea what I'm doing in regards to meshmixer, but I think it worked!
