Description

This STL works better the larger you print it when slicing.  After several tests with my .4mm nozzle the details weren't all visible until 180%.  I like to keep X & Y at 180% and leave Z lower ~115% to keep them nice and thin (use .gcode or see photo). You may still get small imperfections, the way I see it these just make them more realistic.

My computer can't handle making these larger for the STL so I have to do it with my slicer (Cura).

Otherwise, no support, no infill, no adhesion needed. Print with fine resolution (I use .12mm) not sure how it comes out otherwise.

My other uploaded wings will not typically require the same settings, these ones just have a lot of detail.
