I mocked this up the other day from Michelangelo’s Brutus bust.

Hah, got an STL you wouldn't mind sharing? I could use it to compliment my Julius Caesar pen holder.

Sure, let’s try this?

  1. Go to www.polymerpeculiarities.com
  2. Add the Brutus planter file
  3. At checkout use coupon code Lemmytraffic?
  • it’s a 100% discount code. I have made it valid until 01/12/2024

Note:

  • This will help me in a couple ways. Mainly, testing my website, and its ordering process (it really hasn’t seen any use).
  • I don’t really care about emails/phone numbers when ordering, but right now I am using a standard Wix based website and I don’t know how to remove those fields, yet.

Gave it a shot, but got a promotion didn't start yet message.

Unrelated: nice work? How large is it? It's hard to sense it's scale, but it seems to be pretty large.

[–] Rutty@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Should be fixed now. Thank you for trying.

It’s about the size of a Bambu build plate, so around 250mmx250mmx250mm. It should scale down easily, up may work, but there could be a limit due to the drainage holes.

[–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Looks like it's working, but didn't check out yet. I'll give it a shot later this evening when I have the chance to get on my computer. 250mm^3 is totally fine with me. How did you print yours (nozzle size, wall thickness/number of perimeters, etc?)

[–] Rutty@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Should work well with most nozzle sizes.

I printed use 3 wall loops, lightening infill, and some customized support settings I don’t have off the top of my head.

Y'know, pair this thing with some fluorescent neon lights and you got some solid vaporwave vibes there. 😎

Nice finish. Did you post-process?

[–] Rutty@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

Thank you!

A small amount of supports were removed. No other post processing.

The filament is Overture’s Rock White PETG.

[–] verity_kindle@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

That is rad. Et tu, petunias?

I dunno if it’s because it’s 4AM and I’ve yet to sleep but this is the funniest thing. I love it so much. Thank you for sharing!
