Project
Orca
3D printed in PLA — filed & painted
Overview
An articulated PLA orca — 3D printed, sanded, filed, and hand-painted. A maker-space weekend project from slicer to finish.
It came off the printer bright purple because I forgot to swap the filament. Painted over it anyway.
Sliced in PrusaSlicer and printed in PLA at the makerspace.
Sanding & paint
Sanded down layer lines while rewatching Silicon Valley.
Filed the tight spots, then hand-painted black and white over the purple base until it actually looked like an orca.
