3D Printed Mid Century Pattern on a Gatsby Grande

[austinsbarnard]

I was going for an MCM inspired pattern with funky colors. The mold and outline of the pattern are Black Silk PLA printed on my Ender 3 Max. The PLA actually finishes fairly well on it's own, but ain't 6a couple of coats of CA definitely makes it pop.

Nice! Any chance you can show the other sides as well? Is it the same pattern 180 degrees opposite?

Pretty cool, but ignore my ignorance, what does MCM stand for?

Something tells me that isn't it

Mid Century Modern. Think 1950s, Jetson's, wallpaper prints from a Rumpus Room, etc. Here's the pattern that inspired it.

It's exactly the same, the pattern carries through the blank. I've got an idea to something different in each side, but haven't tried putting that yet.

Here's a picture with the original view and one at 90 degrees.

I liked the pen when you posted it yesterday. I LOVE your pen now! That additional view is awesome! Well done!

Nice pen and cool ideal. I think it would be better with some negative space around the design (some background) like the inspiration art.

wow!

I agree. I'm still experimenting. It's hard to find the balance between a design that prints well that small and winding up with areas too small to get resin into without bubbles.
