Angel of Remembrance

Boost MeEvery boost helps motivate me to keep restoring and importing more great works of art into MakerWorld. Thanks for supporting this ongoing project!

Angel of Remembrance is based on a 3D scan of a grave figure from the Vienna Central Cemetery. The original statue depicts a solemn, winged angel holding a flower branch, standing in a traditional pose of mourning. The downcast expression, folded hands, and layered robes evoke themes of quiet reflection, loss, and peace. The scan was created by noe-3d.at and shared under a non-commercial license via Sketchfab.

 

I began with the .obj file and imported it into Bambu Studio. I repaired the mesh geometry, corrected scan irregularities, and leveled the base to improve bed adhesion. I re-oriented the model for upright printing and configured supports to protect detailed elements like the wings, hands, and flower. I also maximized the model’s scale for A1 printers. Print settings were tuned to ensure detail retention while maintaining structural integrity.

 

Printed in Elegoo Marble PLA using the Generic High-Speed PLA profile. After printing, I used a file and fine-grit sandpaper to remove support scars and smooth key features—especially along the hands and flowers, chin, and the base of the wings—while preserving surface texture.

Note: Tall prints can lose adhesion in the final moments. Please wash your build plate prior to printing. Or consider scaling down 10%. I've also had really good luck using BIQU Cryogrip Pro Frostbite build plates.
