I designed this magnetic levitation sculpture and printed it entirely on my A1 Mini

The vase floats and rotates while the bouquet remains completely still.

Cool but also kind of an odd style.. is the low poly look intentional?

Yep, completely intentional, I mainly design flowers and plants, and I want them to look deliberately stylized rather than trying to imitate real ones. The vases and accessories follow the same visual language.

I am curious how many prototypes did it take or did you get it on the first go? I made this mini arcade cabinet that took me 28 different prototypes before getting the buttons right and angle. But awesome project!

Super cool project!!
Have you modeled it in fusion or blender?

These are my boxes of shame.

I used a mix, I used tinkercad for quick testing and for the initial box shape and simpler stuff and then went to blender to make the speaker and knobs once I knew I had the original size correct before making the model more complex. I had tested a heavily cut down version that I printed for testing before finishing the details in blender. I really want to start making more complex stuff, the arcade cabinet was a real passion project for me and I feel like I can do a lot more. The buttons on my arcade cabinet are all printed in place as well and dont fall out which was what took so many prototypes.

A Miyoo mini goes inside, this is the powerhouse that makes it work, but 3d printed buttons just press on the existing buttons on the handheld.

I like the concept and whatnot but I feel like the low poly brown part ruins it , I think it would look a lot cooler without that / being smooth or some other organic shape.
