Chinese New Year Prosperity Lions (5.5 cm Miniature Scale Pair)

Chinese Style Guardian Lion Bringing Wealth

• A golden lion stepping on a brocade ball, with exceptional detail despite its small scale of 5.5 centimeters, truly exceeding expectations. （Slower printing speeds will yield even better results）

  This design can be used as a Feng Shui ornament. The printed material used is Tianrui Silk Gold PLA, with default settings of “0.2 layer height, tree-like support with slender branches, 25 threshold, 4 top support layers.Support removal difficulty: 1 star. The lion and the base have been separated for printing,please be careful when removing supports, if the ball on the chest falls off, use 502 glue to reattach it!

  Configuration 1: Minimum version at 5.5 centimeters, showcasing perfect detail within the current FDM rules. (Effortless support removal, simply pay attention to the mouth area, cut the supports half a centimeter below the supporting surface and pull along the direction of the teeth.)

  Configuration 2:Larger version, you can infinitely scale up the print based on your needs, add modifier support to overhang areas as needed.

  Please adjust the material temperature to suit your filament before printing, any questions can be discussed in the comments section first, welcome all masters to post pictures and comments! Thank you everyone!!!

   

• The size can be scaled up or down based on your preference,it is recommended to print with PLA material, the effect will be finer!
• You can also print with the default settings, those with higher requirements can fine-tune the settings themselves
• Personal experience: When removing supports, be sure to use force in the direction you need to remove them, be sure to cut off the support parts away from the contact surface first, leaving just enough for the pliers to open, this will allow you to securely clamp the top of the support closest to the model, the rolling pliers method - when clamping the support close to the model, use the pliers to roll and tear, this can have a high probability of rolling up the support layer you need to remove, be sure to adjust your hand holding position, be patient and proceed step by step...

• 3D Printing Tips and Precautions

• (All models released by this account have been tested and printed, they can adapt to all models, before printing, you need to check if the printer and filament are working properly, if you encounter problems that cannot be solved, feel free to message me, I will do my best to help you solve them!)
• Precautions:
• If you encounter problems, you can go torefer to the learning area: Print Quality and Troubleshooting | Bambu Lab Wiki
• Ensure the machine's printing plate is clean, it is recommended to wipe it with 95 degree medical alcohol after each print, this can ensure stable printing quality and prevent failures.Because the grease residue on your hands after touching the printing plate can significantly reduce adhesion, and small pieces of debris from previous prints and tiny remnants of print pieces also affect the quality of the first layer, thereby reducing the yield.
• Pay attention to filament drying (PLA generally does not need to be dried, it has a good resistance to moisture), this will greatly affect your printing quality and printing experience! Filament that has been stored for a long time is prone to moisture absorption, if stringing and spaghetti occur, you need to ask the merchant for drying parameters and printing parameters to adjust,most filaments from manufacturers are not dried before leaving the factory, so you can dry them in advance if possible, the printing effect will be better.
• The choice of printing materials, appearance parts generally choose PLA, structural parts generally choose PEGT, these two materials are relatively affordable and the volatilization of toxic gases is almost zero. (For health, it is best to have an air purifier running)
• When using new filaments from a manufacturer, it is recommended to do a filament flow calibration immediately after the first print, and modify the calibration coefficient, this will greatly affect your printing quality, and is a necessary process to allow the new filament to adapt to your printer.
• If you encounter a sudden drop in print quality and low yield, check if the nozzle is clogged, check if the printer is placed stably (it is more stable to place it directly on the ground), you can also try to recalibrate the printer.
• Print at the printing speed recommended in the model description. Overhang quality, model surface count, and printing speed are directly related, the appropriate speed (too fast or too slow is not good) will allow the material to cool and solidify as it is deposited.
• Set the bed and nozzle temperature reasonably according to the different materials. Too high or too low temperature will cause warping, layer deformation or adhesion problems, thereby affecting printing quality and success rate. For users with P1S models and above, if the temperature inside the user chamber exceeds 35 degrees, be sure to open the glass door of the machine.
