This is a remix of the Cloud Gate aka "The Bean" model. I reduced the scaling of the original model and added a sturdy loop on top so you can hang it as an ornament!

Highly recommend painting it with this paint afterwards to get that true 'bean' look: https://www.culturehustleusa.com/collections/potions/products/mirror

 

Print Notes

Should use a 0.4mm nozzle or smaller. Infill shouldn't need to be too high, but I would recommend a gyroid or cubic pattern to get that x + y + z strength, as well as connecting infill lines.

Definitely need supports for this one, I would recommend keeping infill down so you can also keep the support density lower - that way you have less postprocessing after removing the supports.

 

Post-Processing

You are probably going to want to sand and prime it a few times with increasingly fine-grain sandpaper after removing the supports. Primer will help fill in gaps. This is especially necessary if you are planning to paint it with anything reflective.
