Baby Butterfly

Hey crafters, first I just want to say thank you. Thank you for the overwhelming support so far, it's meant the world to me. Merging art and technology is one of my favorite things and I'm so grateful that you all believe in what I'm creating, there is a lot more to come! Okay, now onto this week's model—

The baby butterfly is here! These lil' cuties feature hinged wings and an articulated head, which allows them to stand or lay flat. I found that using PLA translucent for the inner parts of the wings gives them a unique texture because it shows infill pattern inside. Feel free to try different infill patterns for different effects!

Model notes

• Original and keychain versions included, both with eyelash eyes and regular eyes.

• Default slicer settings: 0.16 mm layer height , 15% infill, 3 walls

• No supports

• Print-in-place

• Use Variable Layer Height to smooth the top surfaces if you have time (Highly recommended for this one!)

• When using the STL folders, be sure to load all parts of the model at once as an object with multiple parts to ensure correct sizing ratio, then scale the model up to the desired size. I recommended referencing the preset scale size in the 3mf file even if you don't use Bambu Studio as your normal slicer.
