Description

This piece was inspired by some artwork at my friend's house, hence I am naming it after her :)

It is a beautiful piece which will confuse most people the first time they see it, as they try to figure out which part leads to where and how!

Instructions

The Vica is designed to be printed without support. There are 2 sizes, large (20cm tall) and small (10cm tall). Photos are of the 10cm version.

Enjoy!

Wonderful. Thanks Chylld. My Replicator keeps spitting these out, 10 so far. Most at the scale you set, then I tried a few at 99% of max Z height, and they came out great. Bigger is better in this case.

I am using 10% infill, .2mm layer height, 1 extra shell, at 48mm/sec feed rate and 90mm/sec travel. I have one small bit of extra plastic to trim on the underside of the lower arch, otherwise it prints perfectly.

Anyone who holds it asks if they can keep it. Great design! :-D

Printed wonderfully on MakerGear Mosaic, 10cm, .2mm layer height!

Just printed this at 20cm. Looks great from my RapMan. There is minor splitting of layers at the bottom, but overall, its a great print!

Printing with Thing-o-Matic. Have 3 bad tries. When half of the detail is printed, two separated parts of the detail start a little moving during the head moves. So, it produces mess at the top.

Sounds like you're printed parts aren't cooling down enough - you might have to use the fan a bit (and/or the SF "cool" plugin)

I built two copies on my SD300 Pro. It was fascinating to study how the intricate topology seemed to wrap around more than just 3 dimensions...then the universe broke!!

"Like" isn't enough. This is in the top two comments I've ever seen on Thingiverse.

the universe tends to do that once you harness the ability to pull arbitrary objects out of thin air :)

cute storyboard!

thanks for a beatiful model. My wife wanted it in pink because it reminded her of the pink ribbon for breast cancer research.

Thanks for another great model chylld.

I printed the large one at .5mm on the RapMan 3.1 .

This piece has pretty good "WOW" value.

Makes me want a RapMan... Dammit that Makerbots don't have quick reversal. :( We have hundreds of little annoying strings to pick away.

chylld on January 26, 2011 said:

that looks awesome! well done :)

coasterman on January 24, 2011 said:

This is really cool! I'm printing on my Cupcake with .3mmm layer height at 42mm/s. It's looking great!

peter_ on January 23, 2011 said:

i just printed one off too! your print looks /really/ clean, what extruder/printer/settings were you using?

chylld on January 23, 2011 said:

Nice print!

Mine was printed on a Rapman with 35/350 feed/flow rate, and anti-stringing enabled.

ScribbleJ on January 22, 2011 said:

Watching this print now, and even now my mind is wondering how it works. It doesn't look so confusing in your photos. Great model!

ScribbleJ on January 22, 2011 said:

It's really hard to take any photo of this which does it justice.

Here it is still on the printer, the "I made it" above is after cleaning.
