<p>Does your garden need an adorable rabbit wearing a hat as he rakes the ground? I thought so! This print is very easy to print and to make it extra special, you can print it in an iron composite filament and give it a rusty look like I did.</p><h3>Print Details and Settings</h3><ul><li>This model needs no supports.</li><li>This model doesn't need to be scaled to fit the print bed on a Prusa MK3S. Rotate the model carefully until it's within the print boundaries.</li><li>You can print it with a standard 0.40 mm nozzle, however a 0.60 mm hardened steel nozzle is advised if printing with iron composite PLA.</li><li>Print layer setting is 0.20 mm</li><li>Infill is 20% with gyroid infill pattern</li></ul><h3>Rusting Directions</h3><p>If you'd like to create this model in iron composite, you can follow these instructions for successful rusting.&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Sand the model with sandpaper between 80 and 220 grit. The scratches help expose more of the iron. Wipe off loose dust.&nbsp;</li><li>Mix one part white vinegar, one part hydrogen peroxide, and some table salt and stir to dissolve the salt completely. I used ½ cup of each vinegar and hydrogen peroxide and two tablespoons of salt.&nbsp;</li><li>Lay the model flat and using a spray bottle, spray the mixture very thinly on one side. Allow it to dry and spray another fine layer. Continue under desired results and repeat on the other side.&nbsp;</li><li>The rust can wipe off after everything dries. To prevent this, apply a clear top coat to the model.</li></ul>
