Adorable Flexi Luna Moth (February Design) (Archived)
Hey everyone!
Excited to show off the new Adorable Luna Moth. Mostly print-in-place design. Working on this little buddy was a total blast! Messing around with the wing joints was a whole three days of fun. Hope you'll enjoy printing it! As usual, I've thrown in pre-painted 3MF files for your convenience.
I've tested those wing joints extensively to get them just right. But here's the deal: before you dive into a multicolor print, I'd suggest giving it a shot in a single color first. Every printer has its quirks, you know? So, you might need to tweak the wing size by a smidge, say, +-1 percent, to get it perfect. Printing in a single color first will help you nail down that sweet spot for the wing joints.
Antennae needs to be super-glued with the Head. The wing's Bottom surface should be up while sapping with the Body. Please Look for the last image for reference.
Once Snapped with the Body it is recommended not to de-attach the wings to avoid joint breakage.
For the filament, PLA+ is your buddy when it comes to ball joints.
Silk filament? Not so much. It's a bit more brittle than your regular PLA+.

When might this come out of the archives??
I love this print. But after multiple attempts at 100% and the wings breaking every time I can’t get it to work. Even tried 125% and still broke the wings. Anything I can do differently?
Hi, Sorry to hear that, Maybe your printer is extruding a bit more than normal, May I know if you have tried downscaling the wing by 1%? If you can post images on Discord it will be easier to help you.
I'm not sure what happened, I started printing the wings in multi color from the 3mf file, and most of the centers fell out - looking at the slice, there is a gap around the center pieces on the bottom. left more details, with pictures in Discord
Hi, As i suggested in discription, did the detect thin wall was checked ?
How small can we print her?
Downscale will hinder body ball socket thickness. So not Recommended ❎
Love her!!!!
Thank you 🙌
yay.....
