A bird on a branch

thingiverse

I created a remix of a small bird found on thingiverse, one of three versions - check out https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:579484 for more information. My friend helped me with some backyard photogrammetry to get the branch just right. I scaled down the finished remix to 150mm tall so it would fit perfectly on my I3 sized machine. I printed mine in transparent filament at 0.8 line width, 0.1 layer height, 0.8 wall thickness, 1mm top and bottom, zero supports, and zero infill for a purely artistic effect. However, if you're using colored filament or plan on handling it frequently - like painting it - maybe 15% infill wouldn't be a bad choice. Mine took 6 hours to print with those settings and only needed minor cleanup on the bottom of a couple of overhangs. Please note: This archive now contains three new files, two of which can be used for multi-extruder printers: A Bird on a Bigger Branch.stl - the original model slightly enlarged. A Bird on a Bigger Branch (1).stl - just the bird. A Bird on a Bigger Branch (2).stl - just the branch. Check out this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/6498RjAFSVE.
