Butterfly with hinge - Decoration

thingiverse

I created these custom birthday gifts for my lovely daughters special day. They were designed to be printed independently without any unnecessary raft or support in a single, flawless piece. I initially tested several other prints with varying degrees of success, but unfortunately, they failed on my printer due to certain technical issues, prompting me to design my own customized versions from scratch. To ensure the best possible results for everyone involved, I strongly recommend that you first test printing a single one to see if your machine can handle it without any difficulties. This way, you'll know whether or not to go ahead with printing more at once. To speed up the process, I've also printed multiple designs simultaneously in different colors - a fantastic way to rapidly build an extensive collection of unique prints. However, please feel free to review the 3D file in full detail for even more specific insight. My preferred settings were a print resolution of 0.2mm with two layers and a modest infill percentage of ten percent, allowing for precise, well-balanced results. You'll find detailed information on print times and dimensions within the accompanying images, providing a valuable reference point for future projects. Regarding any possible assembly issues that may arise during reattachment of parts, be aware that there is a slight chance the hinge might become detached from the build platform. In such an instance, carefully grab hold of the base components and rotate them apart until they release easily. Under no circumstances should you attempt to force them away by tugging on the delicate wing portions, as this could lead to permanent damage.
