This is a cool model that I found on Sketchfab from RISD Nature Lab.This model is easy to print. Just follow these quick tips and you should have no troubles printing.Make sure that the model is printed in the same orientation as given in the stl.Add a raft at 2 or 3 layers as insurance for good bed adhesion. You can also use a brim instead if you prefer that.Supports are minimal. When painting supports, click “on overhangs only”, set the “highlight overhang by angle:” to around 37 degrees, and paint on the top of the beak and eye sockets. You should be able to get away with just that. Again, pretty easy to print.As always, if you have any troubles or questions about the model, just send me a message.  3 fun facts about Flamingos:Flamingos get their pink color from a pigment called Carotenoids, which is found in algae that brine shrimp (the flamingo's food) eat. The flamingo's body metabolizes the carotenoids, turning its feathers pink.The average adult American Flamingo grows about 5ft tall (1.5m) and weigh around 7lbs to 8lbs (3.2kg to 3.6kg)In ancient Rome, flamingo tongues were a considered a rare delicacy.
