About this model

My daughter was fascinated by snails so we kept a large garden snail for a few days. I modeled this from photos after we released it back to our garden. Several options are available: - Low poly base model - High poly (subdivided) model - High poly model with body and shell as separate pieces Good support generation and part cooling needed. Scale to 150% for less delicate antennae. I added a manual support version which greatly improved the print quality for me, but the support is difficult to remove.
