One of our neighbours recently asked if I could help him with a bit of 3D printing to finish off a woodworking project. He had two ovals in the wood at either end of the new shelf over their piano and wanted a couple of clefs to go in the gap. Here is the finished result although, balanced on my mantlepiece for the photo, the dimensions have got a bit skewed:
I did my first draft entirely in the translucent material and the lines matched across both halves. I’ve now made a few refinements – offsetting the lines so the clefs balance better, increasing the side depth and slightly reducing the perimeter size. Most important off all, I took the time to pause the printing partway through and switch to some black filament. The contrast looks great and we’re both very happy with the result.
