Final K

I reprinted my K and it is absolutely perfect! It came out great! Pretty proud of myself! So proud i had to put up  a selfie!

K- Part 2

I printed my first K. While printing the sides started to lift so the model kind of messed up. Also its not as big as i wanted it to be. But i did print it in purple color change which is pretty awesome.

K

To take a break from the phone case I decided to make a model of the letter K. I am going to give it to my mom so she can put it on her desk.




Update on phone case

So i printed the whole case and it just didn't fit correctly. So instead of freaking out about it i decided to take a break from it and try something else. Hopefully i can get back to it soon.
