Owl of Midnight Crest | Multicolor Multipart

• 2026-03-23 Updated print profile
  • Ear tufts (plumicorns) are now separated for easy multicolor printing.
  • You can print the tufts in a different color and snap them onto the face using built-in peg connectors, adding a more natural, lifelike contrast and depth to the facial disc.
  • The face with tufts remains available as an one piece option.

Owl of the Midnight Crest 🦉 

Majestic multipart wall mount with gothic fantasy vibes! A fierce nocturnal guardian perched with spread wings, ready to watch over your space.

Key Features:

• Glueless snap-fit assembly –> all parts click together securely with no glue required
• No AMS needed –> designed for single-color prints per part
• Integrated keyhole hanger –> built-in slot on the back for easy, flush wall mounting
• Detailed feather texturing, intense gaze, and crest-like heraldic style that fits perfectly in the Walls of the Wild collection

Print the body, wings, tail, face, beak, eyes + pupils, talons + tips separately, snap them together, hang it up –> instant fantasy decor with zero fuss.

Assembly Instructions

This multipart model is designed for effortless, glueless assembly! Snap everything together using the peg connectors. No glue required for a secure, satisfying fit.

• Preparation Carefully remove tree supports before assembly. Tree supports release most cleanly when cut between branches… snap them away without stressing surfaces.
• Peg Connections Almost all parts use the same snap-fit peg system:
  • Pegs are intentionally tight for rock-solid hold → align and then push firmly until you feel/hear the snap.

  • If too tight → lightly trim peg domes (green) with a knife.

  • If slightly loose → a tiny drop of superglue fixes it instantly.
  • Smaller pegs may feel less "clicky" than larger ones but still provide reliable strength.

Common issues & quick fixes:

• Parts don’t seem to click fully together
  • Clean all support remnants thoroughly from the pegs and inside the sockets.
  • Check for small blobs, strings or printing artifacts on the peg or in the hole (light scraping or sanding usually solves it).
  • While pushing, try a gentle back-and-forth rotation or slight twisting motion → this helps the parts align and slide in once everything lines up.
• Connection feels too tight
  • Lightly sand or scrape the peg domes → only a very small amount is usually needed.
• Connection feels too loose after cleaning
  • A tiny drop of glue in the joint will lock it permanently and securely.

Print profile

• 100% scale = 271 mm (width) × 264 mm (depth) × 113 mm
• Layer Height: 0.2 mm
• Walls: 2–3
• Infill: 5–20% (uses lower end for large parts to save filament/time; higher end for small/functional parts and connectors to boost durability and prevent breakage during repeated assembly/disassembly)
• Supports: Tree supports (auto generated). Painted on tail, face and talons.
• Color Handling: Multipart design → no AMS required. Print plates separately in desired filaments. You can also rearrange the parts onto different plates if you want to mix the colors in a more unique way.

Plates

1. body
2. right wing
3. left wing
4. tail and ear tufts
5. face
6. talons and beak
7. eyes
8. claws and pupils
9. [option] face with tufts

Scaling Advice

• 100% Scale Reference: At default 100%, the assembled lion measures approximately 271 mm (width) × 264 mm (depth) × 113 mm.
• Scaling Up: Larger sizes should work well but not extensively tested yet. The peg connectors are robust, but connections may need minor tolerance tweaks (e.g., slight peg sanding or scaling adjustment) if fit feels off after upsizing.
• Scaling Down: Smaller sizes should also be possible, but connections might not be as clicky or secure → use glue if needed.
• Best Practice: Always scale all parts uniformly with the exact same percentage in Bambu Studio before slicing. Apply scaling globally to the entire project to keep peg/socket alignments perfect. 
• Verification: After scaling, check the sliced preview in Bambu Studio to make sure supports are properly generated for overhangs and that small features don’t have thin walls. Keep in mind, some parts may not be printable if they’re too small.
