Pocket Shrine - Stoic Edition

The ancient Stoics gifted the human race with some of the most compact, elegant and relatable philosophy ever. Now you can have the distilled wisdom of the ancients in your pocket. Crack open this little 3D printed book and on the inside of the cover, you will find the four central Stoic "Virtues" - courage, wisdom, justice and balance. Inside the shrine you will also find a bust of Marcus Aurelius - the wisest and most compassionate of the Roman emperors. Let his Stoic calm flow over you in tough times! When you're feeling overwhelmed, reach into your pocket and open your shrine. The Stoic wisdom is as relevant today as it was 2000 years ago. This could be a wonderful gift for the thinker in your life, or someone who needs a little calm when facing challenges.

This 3D object has been carefully designed to be printed WITHOUT SUPPORTS. I recommend you print with a brim. The only post-processing you may need to do is to carefully separate the front cover from the body, where it touches the build-plate.

Infill - 20% or above.

I recommend a higher quality print setting, to ensure the text comes out nice and crisp.

I used antique silver "Rub and Buff" paint, dry-brushed on to give that steampunk look you see in the thumbnails. Experiment to your heart's content!
