Re: 3D Printing and the Traditional Angler
Thanks Liphook but I can't help feeling that a better design would be a more universal design. With that in mind I have revisited it and made the 'neck' print separately and insertable into any of four cavities, so it's more 'one size fits all'. The fins/ribs have also been enlarged slightly.

This coaster is a reproduction of the reverse of the medals awarded in the 1883 International Fisheries Exhibition (the obverse was a bust of Queen Victoria).

I've also reproduced the actual medal in 3d relief.Rod Fisher wrote: Fri Apr 04, 2025 6:48 pm This coaster is a reproduction of the reverse of the medals awarded in the 1883 International Fisheries Exhibition (the obverse was a bust of Queen Victoria).
And finally got round to making some custom shelves for a tiered reel display.

Re: 3D Printing and the Traditional Angler
If anyone has a product that they want help realising, please get in touch. If you have an idea for a whipping/painting/drying jig, a better float/reel stand, line clip, whatever, I might be able to make it for you.
