This is my design for Bowsers shell that comes out of the black goop in Super Mario 3D world: Bowsers Fury. Just like in the game, his shell is covered in a thick black goop and the base/sea is spikey aswell. So grab yourself a nice silk black filament to print this to match.
I've debated on how to set this up to print, as due to the obvious nature of rounded/curved objects, makes printing a nightmare without supports or rough surfaces. But alas, I think I got a good version. I've split the main shell in half so they print flat, which connect together with a support box to align the two shell halves. This avoids any supports and doesn't look too bad when combined with silk filament.
The spikes themselves print fine, and in groups depending on the location of the shell. 8x for the lower shell, 8x for the middle, 4x for the top and the final bigger spike, which prints with an extra cylinder; otherwise the single spike deforms under the constant heat.
The base is simple, no suppo
