Several people suggested to me that this would make a perfect bike handlebar grip.

I really like this idea! I might have to give that a try in the near future...

Very beautiful! My favourite print so far (I printed the low-res version).

Why such a big file size?

I made a derivative with 90% poly reduction so its down to ~4Mo as well: http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...

This is really cool looking, but I was a little disappointed that there isn't a parametric file we can use... I see you used 3D Studio Max so it wouldn't help me anyway, but typically when I see something on here that's got parametric in the name, I assume its got source files to let me modify the parameters. Seems like uploading the source file would at least be sensible even if not everyone has 3D Studio Max.

Also, yeah the STL really is too large. I uploaded a 45mb STL one time and people complained. When I re-exported it as a 5mb STL I opened up the file and noticed there really wasn't a noticeable drop in detail.
