This model is a highly detailed Civetta (Little Owl) designed for nature lovers and makers. Its unique design allows it to be more than just a statue: it's a customizable light feature.
✨ Key Features:
Smart 2-Part Design: The model is split into two vertical halves. This makes it incredibly easy to remove supports and access the interior.
Easy Wiring: Designed specifically to allow you to install lights after printing. No more struggling with tight spaces or pre-calculating cable lengths!
Optional Illumination: This model is optional to illuminate. It looks stunning as a solid decorative statue, but it truly comes to life when light passes through its textures.
💡 My Setup:
Material: I printed this version using Transparent PETG. This material provides superior light diffusion and a beautiful crystalline finish.
Lighting: I used a Copper Wire LED string (fairy lights). The thin copper wire is easy to shape inside the two halves, ensuring the light reaches both the head and the body for a uniform glow.
🛠️ Print Settings & Assembly:

Supports:YES. I highly recommend Tree Supports for the best surface finish.
Assembly: Print the two halves, place your LED string inside, and join the parts. You can use a few drops of glue for a permanent bond or clear tape/magnets for a modular setup.
