Finishing up the 3D printed turbofans by covering them in carbon fiber, as well as designing the flat covers to go on the top. In this video I experimented with a new pattern that changes appearance depending on the angle of the light hitting it, giving an animated “glitchy” effect when in motion.
Enjoy the video.
