JagNut - 3D Fractal Artifact

A 3D fractal object pulled from the Mandelverse and prepped for printing. Originally used in my video game called Crashed Lander as a landscaping item. Might be a rock, might be an alien fungus. :)

Notes:

I had luck printing this in a more vertical position. When I layedit down flat the supports destroyed too much of the existing texture. I sliced it in Cure 3.2, with .2mm layers, supports at about 70 degree. If you angle it just right you can pretty go without supports that aren't attached to the base. I printed a smaller one with no infill, but I went with a 15% infill on the larger one to add additional support to the upper layers.

How I Designed This

Created using Mandelbulb 3D, Meshlab, and ZBrush
