Description
A fun, delicate decoration for Easter!
Yes, this model needs supports. Use organic supports. If you don't use supports, it will probably fail. Epically.
It needs supports for the overhang at the base and the dome at the top. I set an overhang angle of 35 degrees. It also needs supports on the arms to keep them from breaking due to sideways forces. For that, I added support enforcer cylinders 5mm high at 40, 60, and 80mm heights (world coordinates).
Did I try this without supports? Yes, it failed. Did I try with just one ring of supports? Yes, it failed.
Otherwise, I used 2 perimeters and 15% lightning infill. I also used a really wide brim so that the supports were on the brim and well adhered to the bed.
I've provided my PrusaSlicer project file and GCODE for a Prusa Core One L.
