Laurel Wreath / Lorbeerkranz (easy print, no supports)

How can this be printed without supports? It's easy: You print it flat and bend it afterwards using heat.

I used a heat gun to first heat up the stalk and bend it in a circle. I also cut out a circle out of a 7mm thick piece of wood (diameter 100mm) to bend it around which makes it much more even. Then I seperatly heatet up the leafs and bent them, too.

The model is made to fill out the print bed of an Ender 3 if you print it diagonally.

The base can be printed upside down without supports, but you your printer should have cooling from both sides. Otherwise only one side will look clean because of the steep overhang.
