As an maker wannabe, I am trying now to create more complex models. Last night I had a lot of fun modeling this crazy shape. Notice how it seems to uncoil from the bottom... :)

Printing it has been a bit challenging because I was not familiar with this filament. Even though is labeled the same PLA-basic I have been using (from the same vendor), it seems to demand a 50% reduction in speed compared to the previous ones I used.

That being said, it seems to work so far. 

Will update when done.

Update: it worked!

I think we are almost ready to launch a series of SWPUCs (SOLIDWORKS Power User Challenges) focused on creating complex shapes that are easy to edit. Stay tuned for more.
