Humanity at the moment seems to me to be convulsed with a peculiar form of unpleasant insanity, so it was pleasant to be taken out of myself for a while to a consideration of this ancient myth – especially when it was found to be a much more cheerful myth, in origin, than I had supposed. In the Norse mythos, Odin’s two wolves Geri and Freki, it is suggested, may be echoes of the old Aryan Vedic myth.Ĭerberus was never unfriendly to those trying to enter the underworld – only to those who, having gone in, tried to get out again. Far from being a terrifying two or three headed hell hound, the original canine pair were sent abroad to seek out those lucky souls who were worthy of being conducted to bliss in the afterworld. This delightful but all too brief study (really just an essay) is an elegant discussion of the Cerberus story in all its aspects, and suggests that the origin of the myth is to be found in ancient India, with the two hounds of Yama in Vedic mythology representing the sun/day and the moon/night. The model in the photo was printed with a 0.4mm nozzle on the Prusa MK3S with MMU2S.So how many heads does Cerberus actually have – is it two, or three? Or maybe even just the one, as Heraclitus has it – because he has two sons, so what appears to be three heads are just the silhouettes of Big Dog and the two pups. Most slicers will have an option to mirror the object. Most slicers will allow insertion of 'pause' commands, which will pause the print to allow filament changes.įor a double-sided keychain, simply print a mirror version of the model and glue the two halves together.

This can be changed by adjusting the Z scale of the model in your slicer. Each stl is 0.6mm thick-therefore, printing with 0.3mm layer height will result in two layers per colour. Simply swap out the filament every two layers.
