  🫧 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...

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...
