I had a small break due to my work week and I got a fun Christmas request from my boy who has taken an interest in my harmonica. He also is obsessed with Mario and asked Santa if they could make him a Toad Harmonica. (P.S. I checked with Santa’s elves and they don’t exist). Thank heavens I know how to model in 3D and my friend has a printer. I’m going to try for a cover that accomplishes what he is hoping for. I told him Santa showed me what to do and I could model it while the elves build it for him.
Build with BoxCutter, Curves to Mesh, and Super Mario Font converted to mesh and stacked twice on 3D extrusions. Then I used Hard Ops for some bevel details. Finally I spent the remainder of my day getting the mesh water tight with a remesh using voxel remesh.
For the time I put into it (roughly 2 days) it doesn’t look half bad and my boy loves the design so I am satisfied if he is. Here’s hoping I measured correctly and modeled to scale. I am sending it over for 3D printing this week.
