Catnip 420 Garden Stake

While planting some catnip this weekend, I thought it be cute to have a garden stake with a cat smoking a joint. I found this picture that I really liked, but it doesn't really scale down too well. It's ok for my purposes and I thought maybe someone else could use it.
Notes:
On my first version, I had 2mm of the base white, followed by 1.5mm of black. As small as the details were, that obscured the lines, so I remade it it with the same 2mm of base white and 0.2mm of black.
If you print this at 0.2mm layer height, change colors right before it starts printing layer 10 - assuming that your slicer starts counting layers at 0, otherwise change colors right before layer 11.
How I Designed This
I imported the original cartoon into gimp. I traced the major outlines freehand on a second layer. I exported that layer and imported that into inkscape. Using [Trace Bitmap], I created a vector image and exported that as an .svg. That was imported into FreeCAD and finally extruded. Once the stake was created at the proper size and shape, the image model was scaled down to fit that. ... A lot of work for a simple garden stake! I hope y'all appreciate all my hard work! :)
