Balancing bird

Advanced print (not beginner-friendly). This model requires proper flow calibration. If your printer is over-extruding (this can happen with automatic flow calibration, e.g. on some A1 setups), the nozzle may hit/drag the top layers, which can knock the print off the plate or even snap it in half mid-print.

 

If you are not 100% sure that your filament is calibrated, use profile #2 with glue.

 

If you don’t want to risk wasting 90 grams of filament and 4 hours, use profile #2.

 

Balancing bird with an obelisk stand.
Designed to be 3D-printed without AMS or any multi-material system.

Includes two obelisk options:

• Two-color version (printed from two different filaments)
• Single-color solid version

Important notes:

• Clean the build plate before printing. A dirty plate reduces adhesion and makes any nozzle contact issues much more likely to end in a detachment.
• Flow calibration is mandatory. With ~100% infill, even slight over-extrusion can cause nozzle rubbing/strikes. Calibrate flow until the nozzle doesn’t drag on top layers.
