Pixel Flower Fidget with Stem & Vases (2 Styles)

My 3D printers have been in full bloom the last couple weeks with these pixel flower fidgets 🌷 When they're not in use, I designed a stem ‘stand’ and two different styles of vases to hold them as a cute display:)

 

PLA basic filament preferred

Layer Height 0.2mm

Infill 15% for the pixel flower and stem & 30-50% for vases (to make them more weighted)

Supports needed under the stalk of stem

 

Basic PLA is the best for this print. Like my other recent pixel style fidgets,  I don’t recommend PLA Silk or PLA Matte filaments for this print. It is very detailed (on the inside) and the tolerances are small.  I printed several of these in these three types of filaments and Basic PLA always printed the best and had smoother “movement” when done.

 

If you have any difficulty printing these pixel flowers I recommend:

• Using a glue stick on the print bed
• Slowing the print down

For the vases, I found I like to have my infill between 30-50% to make them more sturdy when the flower is placed on the stem ‘stand’ 💪 

 

Here are the print profiles for my 3mf file:

Print Plate #1(pixel flower_large): 4 colors

Print Plate #2 (Stem_large): 1 color, supports under stalk of the stem

Print Plate #3 (vase #1): 1 color, infill 30-50% (to make it more weighted)

Print Plate #4 (vase #2): 1 color, infill 30-50% (to make it more weighted)
