Phoenix Earring Charm — perched firebird (mirrored pair)

A majestic phoenix perched in side profile, sized as a charm for earrings

or necklaces. Styled after a Fawkes-like firebird — sold through plumage, not

flames: a swept-back crest of pointed plumes, a swan-curved neck, folded wings,

and a long fanned tail that sweeps down to become the dangle of the earring.

• About 21 x 17 x 32 mm

• - A jump-ring bail (2.5 mm inner) is baked into the nape behind the crest,

•   with the hole running side to side, set above the centre of mass so the

•   bird hangs upright and facing forward

• - Ships as a mirrored left/right pair phoenix_earring.stl+

•   phoenix_earring_mirror.stl) so both birds face outward when worn

• - Add a 6 mm jump ring plus a fish-hook ear wire for an earring, or a

•   lobster clasp on a short chain for a pendant

Print:

• Light supports recommended (tree). The long tail-fan underside and the

•   lower wing have organic overhangs; the crest tips point up (no support).

• - A brim helps the small footprint stick to the bed.

• - 0.12 to 0.16 mm layers for crisp feather detail — print one and check the

•   thin crest/tail edges for fragility before committing to the pair.

• - Prints perched on its rock base, as exported.

Single colour as shipped. A dark or metallic silk PLA especially flatters the

plumage; paint the eye for a finishing touch.
