Banksy "Balloon Girl" Stencil Graffiti Art

thingiverse

I am a huge admirer of Banksy's stencil graffiti art, owning several prints that I've purchased over time. To further enhance my home decor, I came up with the idea to attempt printing some of my own work. This particular picture measures 124 x 80 mm and stands upright. This model takes advantage of the ability to pause prints at specific heights in order to swap out filaments and continue printing. Initially, I was working on a dual extrusion design but soon realized that it would be difficult to achieve a clean print without any filament smearing issues. I utilized FlashPrint as my slicer since it includes the option to pause a print at any specified height multiple times, as well as allowing me to adjust the nozzle temperature if necessary at each height. *MUST BE PRINTED WITH A LAYER HEIGHT OF 0.20 MM, INCLUDING THE FIRST LAYER* **Several variants are included in order to cater to everyone's needs:** 1. Balloon Girl 1 - Pause at 6.0 mm to change colors for the girl and balloons. This model allows for one pause print to make the girl and balloons a separate color from the background. 2. Balloon Girl 2 - Pause at 6.0 mm for the girl and 6.6 mm for the balloons. This allows you to make the girl one color and the balloons one separate color. 3. Balloon Girl 3 - Pause at 6.0 mm for the girl and first half of the balloons, 6.6 mm for the second half of the balloons. This allows you to make the girl and half the balloons one color and the second half of the balloons a separate color as shown in the picture with black and mint balloons. 4. Balloon Girl 4 - Pause at 6.0 mm for the girl, 6.6 mm for the first half of the balloons, and 7.4 for the second half of the balloons. This allows you to have two different color balloons separate from the girl as shown in the main picture. Feel free to get creative with the color schemes and share your results for everyone to see. Enjoy!
