Layers of the Sun

thingiverse

This model showcases the different layers of our sun, such as the core and the chromosphere. 1) For minimized bleeding of darker colours (such as red, dark orange and brown) into lighter colours, it is recommended that users set the variable transition lengths to strong and increase the “maximum transition length” (Project Settings>Transition>Variable Transition Lengths). 2) It is recommended that the sun model is printed at a size of at least 120% to allow for better print of the text. 3) To avoid small pieces on the first layer from peeling off the build plate, it is recommended to add a brim (Project Settings>First Layer>Skirt/Brim). To apply a brim rather than a skirt, set the “horizontal gap from part” to 0. Based on how small the model is scaled, more outlines and layers can be helpful (the smaller the part, the more outlines and layers suggested). 4) Difficulty is around 3/5
