3D Printed Turritella Shell


Here are several images of a Turritella shell printed on a 3D printer. The design was created in modeling software. Link here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:13668


It was printed with glow in the dark PLA filament from 3D Solutech: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ME7NHJ8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
