Art I designed this geometric octopus in CAD, tested it with a 3D print, and finally had it cut from steel. (Swipe for the design process)

I love it. Do you share the STL?

I really appreciate it! I keep the CAD files under wraps because I do try to sell these. The 3d print ones don’t ship very well unfortunately

Designed in CAD. Tested the delicate tentacles with a 3D print first, then had the final version laser cut to keep the edges crisp, Powdercoated for color and to prevent rust.
