Specimen:
"Monteverde Angel (also known as the Angel of the Resurrection), from the Staglieno Monumental Cemetery in Genoa, Italy. Created in 1882 by the Italian sculptor Giulio Monteverde, the angel guards the tomb of the Oneto family. While many cemetery statues are meant to be overtly mournful or holy, this one is famous for its ambiguity."

🛠 PRINTING PROTOCOLS

• Aesthetics: Optimized for any material. Standard Color Scheme: black frame with high-vis color accents; white specimen

• Hardware: All V-XL modules utilize M3 x 8mm screws and M3 square nuts (5.5 x 5.5 x 2.6mm) for fastening.

• Specs: 0.4mm nozzle recommended. Use a brim to ensure structural integrity and prevent warping when printing the base.

This module is divided into several files.

—First, print the 4 "Base" files (Standard Color Scheme: black). They do not need supports, but a brim can help stabilize the base onto the printer’s plate.

— Then print "Angel“ in 2 colors (S.C.S.: black plate, white statue, with a filament change just after the plate). You fill need some supports for the arms and the bottom of the wings.

— Then print all the  "inlays" (S.C.S.: blue). You will need to print Diamond inlay 4 times.

— Fasten the Base modules with M3 x 8mm screws and M3 square nuts (5.5 x 5.5 x 2.6mm) ; glue all the inlays into the Base ; then insert the Angel in its base.
