Model Overview & Print Notes
This model is phenomenal! It is very high res and scales very well! I wanted to give a print of the model as a gift to a fan of the Wings of Fire book series and also take advantage of the 5 colors feature of my Prusa XL 5-tool.
I painted the model based on various images of Glory that I found online. I took some artistic license because painting in Prusaslicer is a pain and has very simple tools, that I'm a novice when it comes to artistic stuff and 3D model painting, and I only had 5 colors to work with. As such it's not exactly what I believe the “canon” Glory looks like, but I think I did a good job! It came out so well that I thought I should share my 3mf file to save people the hours upon hours of tedious painting.
I printed using Hatchbox PLA mostly, and AMOLEN Silk PLA for the Red/Gold as follows:
- Hatchbox Metallic Green (modified default Hatchbox PLA settings with bumping temps to 230 deg C)
- Hatchbox Metallic Light Green (modified default Hatchbox PLA settings with bumping temps to 230 deg C, but I think this had some stringing and possibly could use a drop in temps))
- Hatchbox Light Blue (stock Hatchbox PLA settings)
- Hatchbox Metallic Blue (modified default Hatchbox PLA settings with bumping temps to 230 deg C)
- AMOLEN Silk Dual Color Red/Gold (used the stock Hatchbox PLA settings). I had ordered a gradient filament but they shipped a dual color (it's split down the middle of the filament, which isn't ideal for the gradual transition I was going for), and I was impatient so I used it. Still wasn't exactly what I wanted but is quite pretty. I would still recommend a gradient filament and printing both wings at the same time so that the color on both transitions upwards in the print at the same rate.
- Printed with the 0.2mm Structure preset with 0.6 nozzles.
