Hey guys! this is my first offical release of one my 3D models for printing. i spent a good 1.5 weeks slowly sculping/studying this guy within VR. cuttlefish in my opinion are one of the most intelligent beings in the animal world, and are soo facinating. they have complete instant control of their skin colour AND texture to match whatever they are near. the female during mating usually picks out the smartest males not the biggest. the female can also mate with multipul males but ultimately choose which male gets to have kids. they live for about 1.5-2 years and never get to see their children born.... they can never pass on generational information. which basically means every cuttlefish in the world in re-inventing the wheel at birth. could only imagine how smart they could be if they could teach their children things!! I usually do mechanical stuff so i thought this would be good practice for somthing more organic. plus i love cuttlefish! we should totally stop eating them!
C&C welcome.
havent attemped printing the entire thing in one go, but its there if you want to try.
but the split body printed beautifully!
0.2mm layer hight
50mm/s print speed.
used tree supports for the tentacles and it turned out great!
took 3.5 hours to print scaled down too %50. fullscale looked like it was going to take 20ish hours, but in the end you'll have close to a full scale cuttlefish.
