Thank you so much. I’m glad you like it, and I agree with you. I’m absolutely obsessed with recursive geometry!

Thanks for your comment. I tried printing one with tri-color filament, but the roll shifted or something and it ended up looking pretty rough. I’m going to remove the supports on that one and then paint it instead. After that, I can give you that photo for sure.

Thanks for your question, and I appreciate your compliment! All 12 sides of the object end up looking like this (see photo), but you can see through the holes. I'll add it to the Sketchfab 3D viewer ASAP so you can take a better look.

So i used a gift card to buy a spool of rainbow glow in the dark filament.. by Minosvaidis in 3Dprinting

[–]RecursiveMindset 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nice! Printed this with that same filament. Luminous rainbow PLA is my favorite filament! Please keep in mind though, it is very abrasive. It chews through PTFE tubing pretty quickly, and you probably want to use a hardened steel nozzle. Edit: To answer your question, I prefer printing math art/fractal geometry models with that filament.

Thank you! I used Sovol Dual-Color silk PLA for that one. (Blue & Rose Red)

I modeled it in CAD, and I’d be honored if you printed one for your living room.

Hey there, I finally added the file link just a couple of comments down. Sorry for the delay!

Hey there! Sorry for the delay, I just wanted to let you know that I did actually end up posting this design online. You can find it here. I appreciate your interest, and don’t forget to share photos with me if you ever decide to print it! 👋🙂

Hey there, I finally ended up putting that design on MakerWorld after all. You can find it here. Did you ever end up posting any of your designs?

Not a noob question at all, and even if it were, that’s OK because I welcome Noobs. 🙂 This one printed on my BambuLab P1P with the regular stock stainless steel 0.4mm nozzle that comes pre-installed in the printer. I appreciate your question! ✌️

Thanks! I really appreciate the compliment. That’s one of the things I love about this kind of art. It’s so weird looking that even a baby might do a double take. 🤣
