Kali: 3D printed plastic, routed MDF, spray paint. On display at Saturnalia, the AS220 staff group show at the Candita Clayton Studio gallery through January 2nd, 2013.
Created using skulls scanned with 123D Catch and multiple self scans of the artist using ReconstructMe. The scans were merged in MeshMixer to create the two sets of arms. The scanned skulls were turned into beads with OpenSCAD. The divider beads for the necklace and the belt were created in OpenSCAD. The skulls and beads were printed on my MakerBot Replicator, the MDF was routed on the ShopBot.
The STLs for the Kali Necklace and Belt are available from Thingiverse.
