01 — The project

Printed bag series

Each bag began as a Rhino model and went through numbered versions. Spike Bag kept its body while its handle was redrawn three times, then the handle got its own file so body and handle print separately. The skull on the blue bag is my own sculpt in Nomad Sculpt.

Every part was sliced for an Elegoo Centauri Carbon with a 0.4 mm nozzle at 0.2 mm layers, in PLA and PLA-CF. Print times and filament weights on this page are the slicer's estimates; sizes are read from the print files.
