Description
Print the intricate swirling pattern of the queen conch. Then give it a blow to summon a kraken!
Started with the exterior 3d scan of a queen conch, hollowed out the internals, then modeled a spiral from reference photos of conch shells cut in half. Finally, added a trumpet mouthpiece. With the internal swirl, it sounds almost like the real thing.
This fits an Ender 3 print bed after shrinking the margins a bit – prints as two pieces, Conch_horn_top and Conch_horn_bottom. Also included is a version with a wider mouthpiece.
Differences of the remix compared to the original:
Hollowed inside, mesh adjustments, added a spiral.
Joined trumpet mouthpiece with conch shell.
