Containing startlingly less waffles than the title might suggest, I've opted to generate a continuation of the project before last. Thenabouts, if you recall, I created hammers...
So this time, I'd wanted to continue the set by making an anvil.

Having worked (to the detriment - and subsequent aid - of my tinnitus) on one of these hardy, iron rests before, I felt rather confident in creating this three-dimensional facsimile. I'd felt the shape was incredibly scalable for its geometry, opting to go with a 15 inch length for this particular exercise.

I opted to generate it via Boolean unions and differences, utilizing rectangular prisms, truncated cones, and cylinders until reaching this result. The material chosen is .19 inches (~5mm) thick, as shown to the left below.
Per the previous contentions regarding the laser cutter's timetables, I opted to use a 24x24 inch space, though might change this per feedback.

Decided to have a bit of fun with the Keyshot renders, if only to show
off some of the versatility of the shape per positioning.
The first two
renders are set in a position that would doubtlessly harm the traffic in
and out of one of the two rooms on the first floor of the ATEC
building, in a space that would very well accomodate a sculpture
otherwise.
The second set of renders were to better show its waffling superstructure...
...And otherwise just to have fun with its shapes!

The finished product! Constructed of 1/8th inch hardboard.
