Project 03 - Precedents - Maximizing Printer Use

To maximize the use of the the 3d printer I need to design something that cant just be made in the workshop. Two things that are hard to recreate by hand are spirals and nature (natural textures and patterns), so I looked into Spirals in Nature and came across some interesting stuff.

These two pictures I think are very inspiring, both have nice spirals and patterns that i think could work nice as a model at such a small scale.


The first picture below on the left has incredible texture  like lots of small bumps that I think is quite interesting. The picture of the hurricane on the right is a great example of a spiral in nature but possible hard to use in a model although the cloud textures are quite cool.


This picture I thought was quite funny, yet the spiral and texture of the horns are quite cool.
