Thing10

This was inspired by nicholasclewis's photo of his glowing Gold Star here: http://www.thingiverse.com/derivative:4360 . It really made me want to design a glowing, pointy, handheld object, especially since most of my designs aren't really meant to be handled. So, this is the result!

Thing10 is printed in two identical halves, which can be glued together to form a rough sphere, or enjoyed on their own. The printed half is vaguely reminiscent of the Sydney Opera House crossed with a sea urchin. I may have gotten carried away with the pointiness.

The walls are designed to be a single filament wide. I use 0.3mm layers, with width/thickness ratio of 2.0, giving a wall width of 0.6mm. If your wall width is different, you may want to scale the STL file. You probably want to preview the build in software, like with Skeinlayer in Skeinforge. In general, Skeinforge seems to be pretty finicky with very thin walls. I suggest printing multiple copies at the same time, like 2 or 4, to
