<p>A flower that’s based on the flag of Nova Scotia.<br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Printing Instructions</strong></p><p>Material</p><p>I plan on displaying this outside so I used PETG, but you can use what ever material you think is appropriate.</p><p>Base</p><p>Print the base in yellow. I printed with a 5mm brim to avoid warping.</p><p>Pedals</p><p>Print 12 pedals in total, 8 white pedals and 4 blue pedals. I printed the pedals two at a time with a 5mm brim.</p><p>Top</p><p>This is a multi-material print involving two STLs in two colours. I printed Top.stl in yellow and Design.stl in red. I used a 5mm brim to avoid warping.</p><p>I don’t have a MMU unit myself. I used the <a href="https://forum.prusaprinters.org/forum/prusaslicer/manual-multicolor/#post-188236">instructions provided by JoanTabb</a> to do a manual filament change at the appropriate time. Only one filament change is required.</p><p><strong>Assembly Instructions</strong></p><p>Since I intend to display this outside I used two part epoxy to glue it all together. This is my first time attempting this, I don’t know for sure how well it will work. You can use what ever you think is appropriate.</p><p>Pictures from each step of the process are included.</p><p>Step 1: Glue a saw tooth hanger to the cutout in the base.</p><p>Step 2: Glue 6 white pedals for the bottom layer. Make sure you start at the appropriate location, otherwise the blue pedals will not be in the correct location for the top layer.</p><p>Step 3: Glue 4 blue and 2 white pedals for the top layer. Make sure to get the pedals in the correct location.</p><p>Step 4: Glue on the top piece. At this point I used a stack of books to press the whole object together while the glue sets.</p>
