    I love the look of ceramics with our metals. They compliment each other so well. Great work!

    Galloping in the New Year! Love these.
     
  10. I'm really impressed with the balance on these. Did this require multiple tries, or did you perform some calculations to determine center of mass before printing?

    I wish we could say that we parametrically calculated the centre of gravity but no. Haha... The gold pieces each have a extended piece of member that extends out at the foot.

    The ceramic base has a hole where the piece slots in which allows it to stand up.
     
  12. Sneaky. I should have seen that coming. :D (It's clear I didn't look at the first picture very carefully!!)

    Still cool.
