The larger the print the better. The example is printed on an extended printer. Temperature is key here, set the temperature to the low end. I used a house fan as well to cool it quickly as it prints. This will produce better results on the fine branches towards the top. You can distort according to your desire but if you stretch in the horizontal plane too much, overhang becomes a problem.</p><h3>How I Designed This</h3><p>Designed and modelled in Modo. Please also note this is a hires model so it prints out nicely on any printer.</p><p>_________________________________________________</p><p>The resin print is available for purchase at the following website:</p><ul><li><a href="https://structuralexpressions.weebly.com">Structural Expressions</a></li></ul>
