Whomping willow from Harry Potter

Boost MeLove this cranky tree? Consider boosting me. 

Based on the ever so cranky Whomping Willow from Harry Potter

Recommended Print Settings

• Material: PLA / PLA Matte
• Nozzle: 0.4 mm (0.2 mm for ultra-fine branch detail)
• Layer height: 0.16 mm
• Supports: Tree supports (Organic, build plate only)
• Adhesion: Outer + Inner Brim (8–10 mm recommended)

Tips

• The model is scaled to 138% This improves branch strength and print reliability. But you can always scale up. 
• Lower nozzle temperature slightly to reduce stringing
• A brim is strongly recommended due to the ring-shaped base

 

I lowered the nozzle temp to 215C when the smaller branches where printing, but still a cobweb like stringing appeared. I used hot tweezers (held them in a flame) and this removed most of the strings. 

But you could leave them on, it really does look like cobwebbing. ;-)

 

I would love to see your pictures. Especially if you have Harry Potter themed diorama's. I need some more inspiration for my own diorama i'm planning to create.
