Try not to use the Super Tack plate, taking the print off may damage the strings. When you finish printing, LET IT COOL! If you try to pull it off while it is hot, the strings will bend. This is especially true with this model, the body is very thin and fragile, the plate needs to be cold and the print will pop off without issues. Remove the frame first, place the scraper under and run the perimeter of the frame until it is fully released.

 

 

Finally, gently lift the model off the plate. Take your time, if you are having a hard time try placing the plate inside the fridge for 10 minutes and use a sharper blade. Remember to only use it to lift the model, not scrape the plate.
 

 

This model uses arachne, so the strings are even thinner then my previous models. Most models with strings only use a single 0.24 layer high string, I use two. That way, if one fails, the other usually does not. There are other variations on the way, such as AMS painted, strings different color and support for the lamp and waterproof pucks.  But, you also need to have proper adhesion, clean your plate and watch the print so you get the best results possible.

 

 

 

To light it you will need the standard 3AAA RGBW pucks from bambu lab, two in total.

Relatively simple, assemble the two halves using an assembly jig in the profile, it is basically two rings that will fit exactly to the two halves, just make sure you put a paper down so the glue doesn't leak and ruin your table (ask me how I know). There are nubs in the provided bases and it will keep it in place for a desktop stand, but carrying it around without gluing it, is not advised… if you are happy with it and do not wish to reuse the base for my other models, go ahead and glue it.


Also, DO NOT change layer size because then the mid air strings may fail.  Any issues, let me know.
