Butterfly, Animated.

youmagine

I recently downloaded and installed both software and firmware updates for the Cura slicer and the Ultimaker 3 Extended printer respectively, so I decided to test the limits of the new features of both. "Butterfly, Animated" is the result. I'm not a lepidopterist nor a botanist, but I had fun interpreting a butterfly on a flower in my own way. It's amusing to see people's reactions when they think the butterfly is real for at least a moment. My goal was to test the Ultimaker 3 Extended, so I created a dual extrusion file called "Wings.3fm" for the wings. However, I've also included a single extrusion "Wings.stl" (the black outline of the wings) and an orange infill "Wings Infill.stl". Additionally, you'll find files called "Base With Leaves.stl" and "Base Without Leaves.stl" if you want to print this model with or without leaves. I've included a file named "Parts.pdf", which explains the settings I used for each part of "Butterfly, Animated". Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions, as I tend to forget files or settings sometimes. This design was created using Autodesk Fusion 360, sliced using Cura 2.6.2, and printed in PLA on an Ultimaker 2+ Extended and a dual extrusion Ultimaker 3 Extended printer.
