π¨οΈ Print settings
β’ Layer height: 0.16 mm
β’ Scale: 100%
β’ Supports are needed only for the ceiling / top part of the shell shop
β’ All other parts print without supports
β’ Extra material needed: model glue only
π οΈ Assembly
β’ The shell shop is assembled with glue
β’ No extra hardware is needed
β’ Only glue is required as an additional material
I recommend using a glue intended for model assembly for a neat and reliable result.
π¨ Multicolor design
All colored parts are made as separate objects.
They are not hand-painted.
This makes the set easier to recolor in your slicer and lets you create your own shell color combinations if you want to experiment.
β¨ Handmade design philosophy
We do not use AI for inspiration, modeling or design.
Every model is created by hand β from the first sketch idea to the final file.

If you have any print issues, feel free to message me β Iβm always happy to help.

AW so cute! I love their little shells
Thank you β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Will this be for sell by itself? Also what white did you use for the pearls?
The design will be available for purchase in early July. I used a standard white base color. The white sections of the design incorporate a small amount of gel top coat mixed with iridescent nail powder.
