Tabletop plant: “Freak Leaf” (Alien Vegetation 31)

Tabletop plant: "Freak Leaf" (Alien Vegetation 31)

Who needs more than one leaf? This plant doesn’t!
The one gigant leaf if providing most of the energy the plant needs and at the same time shields roots and branches from radiation. Out in the wild single ones can be found. However, they tend to grow in groups and circles which sometimes look like oversized satellite dishes. Research on this matter is ongoing. (So is the 3d modelling of additional variants. ;-))

Hope you like it. Have fun!

Btw: Like my last few models, this one also features a small hole on the bottom. This can come in handy when painting the plant. This way it can be turned into a plant on a stick which makes holding it a lot easier.)

One last thing: This is a fairly easy print – you could add some support below the main leaf. However, I printed it without which also worked out just fine with 0.06 mm and 0.15mm layer height.
