Description
my third space invader rendition. Designed in the same way as the others to be a real world print that throws a correct space invader character shadow when positioned correctly to a bright light source.
I threw together a quick stand that also shows exactly what shadow the actual print creates when lit from above.
To be brutally honest with the space invaders, Nobody was more surprised than me that they actually printed as well as they did. They were more of a ‘can I create them’ thing over actually printing them at the time, so when I ended up with all 3 printed? Bonus. In reality I could have done a far better job had I been truly serious about them, but they were a bit of fun in a reddit conversation. Even in their current form they took way too long to create. All that is to say, they can be delicate after printing.
