One of my friends has just started working as tech support for the local university's library. I mentioned to her I should get her a rubber duck to help with troubleshooting (sometimes voicing the problem out loud helps find solutions - a tried and tested method used by other IT professionals) but she said she only wanted one if it was Harry Potter related. After a fruitless internet search I decided to make my own.
Printer:
Spacial One
Rafts:
Yes
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
0.2
Infill:
15%
Notes:
Rotated 250ish degrees and then made flat using repetier so that the front geometry would be preserved and the support material on the back. See pic for help.
Support material removed with long nose pliers and a craft knife and the reart blasted with a heat gun for a bit to try and knock off some of the rough edges. If I had more time I would have gone for the sanding/filler/paint route but was a bit rushed.
Quick and dirty mashup in blender using cerebus333's sorting hat and the flat bottomed remix of Willie's original rubber Duck by deckerino. Pushed through netfabb to make sure it is watertight.
I was designing for looks not printability but I recon it can be tweaked without too much fuss
