Description

I am fully blind. This is an elephant model as seen and designed by myself.
When I visited Thailand back in 2018, I had the pleasure of feeding, washing and caretaking elephants. These majestic creatures really inspired aw in me, and this is my attempt at recreating an elephant using OpenSCAD.

I read your story on Reddit, and came here to see your work, which is very impressive. But I am not making this because you are blind, but because it is a piece of Art you created from your mind's eye. Elephants are familiar to the sighted, but your interpretation is wonderful, and I shall tell people how it came into being. I did a little tweaking to get it to print how I wanted it - nothing really - and it came out superbly in a brassy-bronze filament. Have no doubt, it IS an elephant, but also something wonderful from your own viewpoint. Thank you.
