KU JayHawk - Ancient Egyptian

Archaeologists have done it: after thousands of years under the sands, they’ve uncovered proof that KU sports spirit is older than recorded history. This is a single-piece Kansas Jayhawk reimagined as an “ancient Egyptian” relic—part mascot, part temple statue, full Rock Chalk energy.

Features

• Single-piece, no assembly
• “Carved stone” / temple relic styling with Jayhawk silhouette
• Funny concept: KU pride as an eternal civilization-level tradition
• Great desk, shelf, or game-room display

Print Settings (Single Piece)

• Material: PLA (matte PLA looks most “artifact-like”)
• Layer height: 0.2 mm for fast; 0.12–0.16 mm for best detail
• Walls: 3+ perimeters recommended for a solid statue feel
• Infill: 10–15% (more only if you want extra weight)
• Supports: Ideally none. If your printer struggles with the beak/crest/under-chin areas, use tree supports “touching buildplate” only.
• Adhesion: Brim optional; helpful if the base footprint is narrow

Orientation

• Print upright on the base for the cleanest “carved” surfaces and easiest finish.

Finishing Ideas

• Quick artifact look: light sanding + dark wash in creases + dry-brush highlights
• “Museum mode”: sandstone/limestone paint scheme
• “KU wink”: keep it stone, add minimal KU accents on small details only

Scale

• 120–160 mm tall: perfect desk statue
• 200+ mm: centerpiece display
