Clarus the Dogcow

This is Clarus the dogcow, the iconic Apple Macintosh icon. It notably appeared in the classic Macintosh print dialog after being born as a glyph in Susan Kare's Cairo bitmap font in 1984.

While geometrically accurate, each individual pixel was scaled up 20% to create a 1mm overlap between each (at 100%) in order to achieve this free-standing and self-supporting shape.

Print instructions:

• Orientation: as per STL (flat, snout pointing left)
• Infill: 15%, but can go pretty high.
• Material: PLA

Photos shown are of a 85% scaled down print to fit on my Original Prusa MINI bed.
