Two Fish

Faux stained glass-light catcher frames are printed upright, while "glass" pieces come out upside down. Flip these over and carefully glue them into recesses in the upright frame using white glue or Acetone. For more info on printing glass with intricate patterns inside, check the instructions. Instructions for Achieving Patterns in Glass Patterns within glass designs can be created by choosing a honeycomb infill. I've tried different sizes, but 20% yields the best results. The ideal profile for printing glass involves starting from the bottom and ending at the top, using a 20% honeycomb infill along the way. When printing at .3mm, this technique produces 6 slices of transparent material per layer, adding depth with every print. The frame requires special attention; it must be printed twice, each time in different colors to produce the desired multicolor effect. Start by placing half of the "glass" pieces from one fish in place, then print and add another color before finally inserting the remaining glass slices into the other fish. Although this method might seem intricate at first, it can actually be done one piece at a time.
