Owl of Athena

thingiverse

I'm thrilled to share my progress with you! I took the original model and used Meshmixer to breathe new life into it, carefully restoring intricate details around the feathers and eyes. To add an extra layer of depth, I elevated the Alpha and Theta symbol situated at the base. For this print, I chose PLA as my material of choice. To give it a touch of luxury, I applied some gold acrylic paint, adding a pop of color to the design. Print Settings: I opted for a 0.1 mm layer height, ensuring crisp details in every layer. With no heated bed and raft support, I was able to achieve a stable print without any issues. The infill percentage came out around 10%, providing a nice balance between strength and weight. Post Processing: After the print was complete, I performed some light sanding at the support contact points, carefully removing any excess material and smoothing out the surface.
