Project Shellter - Shell 01

UPDATE 2011-10-25
I uploaded shell-012948.stl, the file as exported from Sage, for shell thickening experimentation. It was mirrored from the original exported file because a hermit crab needs a right-handed shell spiral due to the way its abdomen curves.

Pimp out your hermit crab!

This is the prototype shell for Project Shellter, the current artist residency at MakerBot Industries.

It is modeled on the shell of the Cittarium pica sea snail, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cittarium_pica,
