Spinning Balancing Bird Remix Without Attached Supports

thingiverse

This is a remix of [Spinning Balancing Bird](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1179531). I absolutely adore the bird and it's been a huge hit with friends, family, and my students. However, the attached supports on the original were extremely difficult to remove and left very sharp edges.\r\n\r\nI used Tinkercad to delete the attach supports and create a new STL file. It's not flawless, but it works much better.\r\n\r\nIt still requires supports to print. I found that adding some extra support around the beak produces the best results. I print it flipped over so the beak is facing down. The posted STL file remains in the original orientation.\r\n\r\nAlso check out my make of the original: [https://www.thingiverse.com/make:710888](https://www.thingiverse.com/make:710888).\r\n\r\nI'm also a big fan of this tree stand to go with it: https://www.thingiverse.com/make:710887\r\n\r\nMore of my models on Cults:\r\nhttps://cults3d.com/en/users/abbymath
