I really enjoyed the look and quality of the Monument Valley Totem model I printed at half scale, and decided shortly after that print that a full scale print of the model was in order. I quickly printed the first pieces, and it was clear that at full scale, this was going to be a large Totem:…

Wireframe Skull
In the spirit of Halloween, I tried out a wireframe skull model, intending it to be a pencil jar for the 10 year old. At default scale it’s unfortunately a bit small.
