Rafflesia sp.

The genus Rafflesia are parasitic plants found in the rainforests South East Asian, living on the vines in the genus Tetrastigma (distant relatives of grapes). They're best known for producing the largest single flower in the world, measuring up to 111cm from fleshy petal to fleshy petal (unlike Amorphophallus titanum, a different giant corpse flower that actually consists of massive rod covered in hundreds to thousands of tiny flowers wrapped up in a giant bell-like petal-thing called a spathe). Rafflesia is also well-known for smelling like rotting meat to attract carrion beetles and flies. If you'd like a fleshy botanical horror to leave on your coffee table or hanging on your wall without the smell of a rotting corpse filling your space, now you can 3D print your own.

I've included two versions of a same model: One with a hole so you can hang it on a wall or add lights to make a vaguely ominous mood light or fly catcher (Raffleisa-flat-hole.stl), and one without (Rafflesia-flat-whole) that can take up space on a flat surface of your choice. There are 7 distinct parts:

• 5 fleshy petals (apparently they're called perigone lobes)

• 1 cup-like diaphram that you'll need to glue the petals to (they're arranged so that on the petals print in the same-ish location to where they fit on the central cup). I suggest painting the raised patches a dirty yellowy-white color for accuracy, but hey, it's your print and your choice

• 1 spiky disk that holds the actual reproductive bits

I like using PLA for this print because it's relatively cheap, though if you use something like ABS or PETG you could potentially seal the disk portion and add soapy water to trap flies. The possibilities are endless!
