Ball of Stars - Math Art by Dizingof
Description
Each star is supported by the next.
Wall thickness: 3mm
An idea for a derivative:
Attach a base at the bottom with a CREE LED light and enjoy a unique Math Art Lamp Shade.
* I've uploaded a Support structure STL file to be tested on a Dual extruders 3D printers with a Soluble filament that dissolves completely in hot water.
You can also use PLA for support but dissolving it requires Caustic Soda solution and an ultrasonic chamber..
Struggling with manual support structures removal should be a thing of the past.
Looking forward to seeing some good news on this evolution

Having a hard time getting a good print at 150mm, it's a tricky one...
My test print was 100mm just basic support structure.
After simplifying and scrubbing with meshlab and netfabb, was able to print it on the Replicator (obviously at a much lower resolution than would be optimal). The real challenge is in removing the support material. My attention span and reservoir of patience is really not up to that task and I'm still tweaking away when I get a few minutes here and there. The next print will be better now that I know what I'm up against.
Great print.
Why am i not seeing owners of Makerbot Replicator (dual extruders) using the soluble material for the support structure?
After the print is finished dip it in water and you get all the support structures removed leaving you with a clean hi-res model
Is it too pricey or hasn't been implemented wi
th the software yet?
Very nice. I didn't notice the intertwined 'arms' at first. Nice rhythm to it.
