Tree of Life

thingiverse

This sculpture represents a highly detailed Tree of Life that was produced with advanced 3D printing technology. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: high Infill: 12% Notes: Printing the fine details at the top of the tree can be very challenging, as the material becomes thin and fragile. However, a larger print is usually easier to handle. A longer printer was used for this particular example. Setting the temperature at the lower end is essential to prevent warping during printing. Additionally, cooling down quickly after each layer using a house fan yields more impressive results, particularly when working with delicate branches towards the top. Adjustments can be made freely to obtain a desired effect but be cautious not to overextend any features too far in one direction, as excessive stretching might lead to issues related to print supports. I used high-resolution Modo for designing and modelling this sculpture, resulting in a highly detailed print that works perfectly with almost all types of 3D printers.
