My first custom 3d print: Hex Cloud

The past weekend I finally found time to make my first custom print for my Makerbot Replicator.  In Maya, I modeled & booleaned a variety of hexagonal mesh to create a “hexagonal cloud-like wall-hanger”.  I wanted to it to be artsy, and functional too:

Took just over four hours to print with two shells, and 10% infill.  I have to admit that it was a surreal experience to see the final print:  Just four hours ago this design was digital only, but now, it exists in the physical.  There’s a first time for everything.

To print it yourself, you can download the stl file over on Thingiverse.

Here is its (current) permanent home
