Summary

If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.
-- Isaac Newton

Have a little listen to R.E.M. sing this quote while you print this incredible model.

I remixed an amazing model from Agisis to come up with the slightly modified version. I printed the original and spent an incredible amount of time gluing it together, only to find out that things didn't match cleanly. It may have been my printer, it may have been my skills... none the less, it was less than perfect.

So, using MeshMixer, I digitally rebuilt the whole segments and smoothed the joints. Then, orienting them vertically, I printed these on my MakerBot G5 with Supports and got a very easy to assemble version.

The design belongs to Agisis, I just stuck em together and re-oriented.

For me, removing support material and sanding was quite a bit easier that what I had to go through with the original.
