I modeled this for my wife who wanted a way of displaying the Quill Pen that we purchased a souvenir after watching Hamilton on stage for the first time. Since it is a quill pen, I thought it only right to use an Inkwell for holding said pen.
I designed and modeled it after similar inkwells that were in use in North America during Hamilton's life. Rather than something very ornate, I went for something that might be used by middle class Americans like Hamilton himself.
I created the model in Fusion 360, and printed it on my FLSUN V400 in plain white eSUN PLA+ with a 0.4 nozzle and 0.20 layer height.
I lightly sanded the model down with three different grits of sandpaper. Then, I hit it with two coats of Behr's Space Gray Paint & Primer spray paint.
Lastly, my wife did an excellent job painting it with acrylic paint to look like brass. She also dry-brushed on some black for weathering.
The author marked this model as their own original creation.
