With this design I have tried to best capture Ian Wright's style and character: simplistic, sleek and smart. I have also tried to utilise some of the abilities of 3D Printing. Creating features in the arms that cannot be produced any other way. These features pay homage to Ian and his love of the gunners, choosing to display embedded models of a football and mini gunners cannon in 3D.
I hope you like it and thank you for viewing my design.
Arms and lens rims should already be orientated in what I found to be the best position for reducing supports. The arms are printing in z to achieve this which reduces the strength of the parts, however, by nature of the geometry the arms will flex more than a solid thin beam and shouldn't snap as easily.
