Half of the butt#

Stunningly beautiful! After 7 hours of 3D printing, we are proud to show you the half of the butt.

Well done!

Second half of the butt#

Finally, after 7 hours of 3D printing, we finished the second half of the butt, the main shell. The parts fit together pretty well, but need some fine tuning to just snap into place.

Really amazing!

Cover on top!#

Put the lid on! It just fits. Simply brilliant.

The takeaways:
The rounded edges need tweaking.
The supports (grid, snug, organic) were all difficult to remove. It has to work without them.
Printing on the textured sheet shows a more consistent look.

There are a lot of ideas that will go into the next iteration.

All in all, absolutely gorgeous.

Cover the slot!#

The just finished slot cover is the last part of the outer shell in its minimal setup. In my opinion, it would be possible without the printing of the brim.
Once again, it fits.

That is really, really impressive.

And now enjoy our sexy final shot.
