Hi All, how do i create this odd shape( off centre teardrop). I am relatively new to Shapr3D. I have downloaded one from  
Printables in stl and step format. But i am unable to project a shifter tree on it. The first image is what i want to recreate.

Something like this…?

How accurate does it need to be?

If you want just a general overview of how I created this then here is a video of how I created the basic shape…

Projecting the text…
