  🫧 CORAL🪸 ARTICULATED 🌊  TURTLE 🐢 Born from three months of technical sculpting and refinement, this articulated turtle carries a mesmerizing coral shell, unique flippers, and lifelike textures. Engineered to move with natural grace, it showcases the hidden beauty of gyroid patterns while remaining FDM-printable with almost no supports, a rare harmony of design, art, and technical mastery. 🌊 The Journey  🐢✨ The Coral Articulated Turtle was not born overnight,  it was technically sculpted over months of persistence, trial, and discovery. It began with a vision. I had always wondered how to design articulations as fluid and natural as waves. But there was no ready-made tool or shortcut. What existed felt limiting, so I set out to build my own way, a path that would take me through months of testing, sculpting, and refining and creating various  CAD software, custom algorithms, and hands-on sculpting into a process that was as much invention as it was cre...

Driver Extractor by Mels 3D

Mels 3D Driver extractor is the module which makes wiring an external driver to your mainboard simple.

When you want to run your CNC or 3d printer with high powered steppers, You need external drivers like TB6560 or TB6600, running jumper wires through the motherboard can be quiet dangerous when they get loose, which can cause short circuit or disengage the external stepper drivers. All these problems can be solved with Mels 3D Driver extractor. The wires from the external drivers can be soldered directly to the driver extractor and then mounted to the motherboard hazzle free.

Articulated Seahorse

  FLEXI SKELTON SEAHORSE (Skip to the end for Baby Seahorse) (work in progress blog) I want to tell my experience and story about the creation of MELS 3D LABS Articulated Seahorse. Of all the Articulated designs, this has a unique story and place among them all. Early 2024, i was researching for an articulation no other designer has ever made. It should be an interesting creature as well, my research led me to seahorse, a beautiful creation of nature.  THE SCULPTING My sculpting workflow evolved over the years,  a systematic, hence its time consuming but foolproof approach to perfection. Typically i sculpt 2-3 days straight, mostly skipping  breakfast as i get hyper obsessive. The sculpting path : Typically i could create a link and the body section, where then i can duplicate it, then scale it down and keep duplicating it up to the tail. That would save a lot of time and effort. But for the seahorse, This wasn’t the case. The body is curved, hence even after duplica...
