Poop Art

The Filament Purge Design Contest on MakerWorld set me thinking and experimenting.

The artistic plaque was created by heating an oven dish full of filament purge (poop) at 220°C in an oven. After cooling, the plaque is made neatly rectangular by sawing off the 4 sides straight. After this, I designed a suitable frame to exhibit the artwork. A support arm to place the frame on a table or cupboard and a spacer for the wall have been added. I was pleasantly surprised with the incredibly beautiful result. This is definitely worth repeating and I won't throw away any more filament purges from now on!

p.s. I hope to post even better photos. My phone's camera is unable to properly capture the real beauty! The end result looks most like a shiny bathroom tile! The different types of filament (shinny / with glitter and normal ones) all create their own blend. Some become real spots, while others still show clear lines. The top layer becomes really glassy.
