Description
An abstract piece of art. Created in a 3D modelling program (Modo). It is what it is.
Instructions
This will test the the ability of your printer to do arches. This needs no supports and indeed supports would probably be a bad idea. Rafts might work but shouldn't need that either. On my Replicator 2 printer there are rough spots on the bottom of a few of the arches but no problems printing.
I have included the file in thing format for Makerware users.
The photo displays 3 builds the two small ones are medium resolution while the large is fine resolution (.1mm).
I used 10 and 20 percent infill and 3-4 shells with success.

What size did you print the large one out at? I imported the file and it was over 400x400x270mm big, lol. I had to scale it down to around 20% percent. What print settings did you use as far as infill and vertical and horizontal shells? I'll give this a shot later this evening. Just looks cool, nice work!

The large print was about 6x6 inches (see the thing file). I should have made the stl file smaller.
