Oleander Hawk-Moth Suncatcher — Stained-Glass

The Oleander Hawk-Moth is one of the most elegantly camouflaged insects in the world — and in stained glass, that camouflage becomes art. A sweeping palette of teal, sage green, chartreuse, silver, and warm taupe fills broad sculpted wings against deep black leading, the segmented abdomen detailed with teal and yellow-green banding. At 2mm in translucent PETG, the cool green tones glow with an almost bioluminescent quality in backlight — unlike anything else in the collection.

⚠️ Critical Slicer Settings (SVG-Origin File)

These three settings are required for clean panel separation and accurate hole geometry:

• Slice gap closing radius: 0.5mm — Quality → Precision
• X-Y hole compensation: −0.25mm — Quality → Precision
• Wall generator: Arachne — Quality → Wall Generator

Color count: This design uses multiple distinct color zones across all four wing panels and abdomen — an AMS multi-filament system is strongly recommended for best results.

💡 Tips & Tricks

• Best display: morning east-facing light makes the cool teal and chartreuse panels glow with an almost bioluminescent quality — this one earns a prominent window spot
• Translucent upgrade: the all-green palette is unusually cohesive in translucent PETG — teal and chartreuse side by side in backlight reads like sea glass
• Scaling for translucency: when scaling up, uncheck uniform scale in Bambu Studio and manually set Z to 2mm to preserve panel translucency
• Outdoor use: PETG is the better choice for covered porch or sunroom windows — UV and moisture resistant
• Pair it: the cool green palette is a natural contrast companion to the warm amber tones of the AGW Cecropia Moth for a striking side-by-side moth display
