"FRACTURED" by Fiornova
Kit Challenge - Magnetic Levitation DIY 
WORK IN PROGRESS #1

I've been working for the past 2 weeks on the MagLev DIY kit challenge. 
My entry is called "Fractured": a peaceful Calla Lily, quietly sitting in its vase, was mysteriously struck by a slicing force. 
The vase was cut in two, the water splashing everywhere. the moment frozen in time. 
The MagLev kit will expand on this frozen moment: the top part of the vase will literally levitate above the fracture.
 

My workflow
I work in Blender for all of my projects. 
My process is to block out the shapes first, then refine them as I go. 
The blockout phase is now finished, and now the fun part begins: SIMULATIONS!
To get the perfect frame for the frozen splash, I'm playing a lot with fluid sim. Here's how the process looks:

It's a matter of running different sims, once you get a convincing frame you litteraly stop the time and the mesh is blocked.
This is just the rendered version of the water, and those colors are just placeholders, the final print will probably be in translucent petg or pla, I don't know yet, I need to experiment and prototype! :)
 

For the time being I'm going to continue to iterating in blender, next week I'm finally starting to test-print some parts,
Once the first pieces of "Fractured" are physically in my hands, I'll make sure to update you. 
Follow me if you want to see more before the launch.
