Endangered Species: Rhino

Description

I Got The Idea To Model The Bust Of A Rhino, And Print It In A "Wireframe" Style Like I'D Done With Previous Designs. This One Is Produced With A Different Wireframe Creation Technique However, Where I Instead Generated Blobby Particles Along The Polygonal Edges, And Converted The Results Back Into Polygons. I Tried To Minimize Overhang Issues By Tracking The Angle Of The Edges Via A Python Script In Maya. Very Little Cleanup Was Needed After Print: No Raft Or Support Material Needed. The Frame Is Actually A Pattern I Drew On Some Scrap Mdf (Nothing 3D Printed There) , Jigsawed Out, And Then Routed The Edges Plus Slapped On Some White Paint. Print Is Affixed Via Epoxy. The Rhino I Painted Red On The Inside, And Sprayed Rubberized Black Undercoating On The Outside. Alternatively, Some People See A Penguin Walking Up The Wall. Once You See It, You Can'T Unsee It....
