Bubble Decor (Heart, Daisy, Crown, Bow, Butterfly)

Description

To expand my Bubble Wall Art series, I’ve created a set of charming, whimsical objects perfect for a nursery or little girl's bedroom. These models match my existing number and letter sets beautifully, making it easy to create a custom, coordinated look for any wall. Just like my other designs, these are a wonderful substitute for popular ceramic decorations—you can get that same premium aesthetic without the high price tag or the risk of them breaking. They are also much easier to mount, (we’ve had great success using simple command strips or 3M tape). I’ve included detailed print and painting instructions in the description below so you can achieve the perfect finish!

Print Instructions

• Open the file in Bambu Studio. 
• Delete the Objects you do not need and duplicate ones you need more of.
  • Note: The Daisy features two options, one that is a single piece, and one where the center is removable to make painting easier.
• Select all of the remaining objects and resize them as needed. 
• Use the “Arrange All Objects” function to rearrange the remaining objects for printing. 
• Slice and Print!

Paint Instructions

While I was very happy with the finish I was able to achieve with adaptive layer heights in this project, we elected to paint them to get the colors we needed. (My cover photo is rendered, but the gallery includes pictures of the unfinished  prints). Several people have demonstrated good results with UV resin coating, or just clear coating over the existing PLA colors. 

 

 

Here is a picture of the letters I painted, and the process I used in case you'd like to duplicate my results:

 

• After printing, sand with sandpaper progressing from low grit to high grit. (I used 100-180-220)
• Clean thoroughly.
• Paint with Primer ( I used Rustoleum 2-in-1 Automotive Primer)
• After primer is dry, sand again with 400 grit sandpaper. 
• Clean thoroughly again.
• Paint with 3-4 coats of your preferred paint, (I used Rustoleum 2X in a Satin).
• Finish with 3-4 coats of clear coat, (I used Rustoleum 2X in Gloss).
