Depending on your intended use, use an infill between 10% to 25%. If printed in a vertical direction, you will only need to use a small amount of support and preferably a brim. If you have a smaller format printer, then use your slicer software to section the model. You will need to join the pieces after printing, preferably use epoxy. To print the Rolling Pin in one piece on a smaller format filament printer (Dreamer, Inventor, etc.) then rotate the model 90 degrees Y, rotate 30 degrees Z, scale to 85%, and place on the platform. You will need to print using supports and fill and sand any imperfections. Paint the Rolling Pin in your desired colour scheme. Use wet blending and/or dry-brushing to simulate the wood grain. If required, apply a clear coat to seal the paint. If printing the Rolling Pin for use in your kitchen, apply a clear sealing coat. Make sure that all materials are food-safe by referring to their respective material safety data sheets. The Rolling Pin was designed in ViaCAD and imported into Maya for texturing and rendering.
