Description
A set of four flying insect themed suncatchers - Monarch Butterfly, Golden Ring Dragonfly, and two types of Honey Bees.
For the standard profile all three will fit on a single plate and only feature one color change.
For the A1 Mini profile they print on three separate plates and the Monarch Butterfly had to be shrunk down to 90% to fit.
They can be printed and left as-is, or you can do what I plan to do which is color them in with Sharpie's and seal them with a gloss spray sealant (I'm going to use Krylon's Triple Thick Clear Glaze).
They are very thin so be sure to let your plate(s) cool before removing.
Monarch Butterfly Measures ~8.85"w x 5"t (~8"w x 4.6"t for the A1 Mini Profile).; Golden Ring Dragonfly Measures ~7.5"w x 5.5"t; Bee 1 Measures ~3.6"w x 2.7"t; Bee 2 Measures ~3.3"w x 3.3"t
To print these without AMS, add a pause for a manual filament change at Layer 5.
I printed mine in BambuLab Matte Charcoal PLA and Cookie Cad's Rainbow Glitter Transparent PLA since I'm planning to keep them indoors and they won't be exposed to much heat. For using outdoors or in windows where heat is a concern, I suggest using PETG instead.
