Lizard Feet: Solidworks to Autodesk Meshmixer and then Cura for PrintingAs solid works lends it's self to hard edge designing I brought the ankle/hinge attachment into Meshmixer to integrated more organic shaped toes into the model. I used the measurements from earlier in my model designing to get all the toes the right length and used the same file to do front and back feet. When this was done I duplicated them and mirrored them in Cura. I also softened the area of the Solidworks model in Meshmixer using their sculpting tools to ease the transition between the parts. As I am not aiming for realism but representation of the lizard I think this will work well once printed in the flesh coloured flexible TPU filament: my concern with the model is its tiny proportions and the separation of layer lines that can happen with this filament. To fix this hopefully some superglue once the supports are removed. For this small of a model I would normally opt for a resin print but as I need it to be flexible and matching the other areas of the model.
