Design and Print Challenge: Dandelion

Dandelion

So, my supervisor went to a 3d printing symposium and while he was there he talked with a group that tried and failed to design and print the white fluffy round part of a dandelion. When he got back he challenged me to try to figure it out, and I pulled it off and it turned out pretty decent. It was an excellent challenge that took a while to get my head around, but I had a lot of fun with it. I was going to post some pictures of my final print, but instead thought I would present the challenge to r/3Dprinting first and see if anyone wanted to take a crack at it first. If there isn't any traction I will post what I came up with in a day or so.
