This is a remix of a hummingbird model (the original was scanned from a wood carving).
This model is intended for a Prusa with Multi-Material Upgrade, or other multi-color printers.
The hole in the tummy is to allow the model to be ziptied to a branch or a stake.
Further intended modifications (if and when I get around to them) include an optional loop on the top to hang the hummingbird (and close off the tummy hole), and (optionally) make the underside of the wings the same color as the tummy, which is biologically more accurate.
Printer Brand:
Prusa
Printer:
Rafts:
Doesn't Matter
Supports:
Yes
Notes:
On my first print attempt I had the beak at a 45 degree angle so it only needed support on the tip, but the beak is so narrow and the support so small, that the beak ended up not sticking to the support and was just oozing in mid air. On my second attempt I tilted the model back so that there would be support under the beak and it printed just fine. The underside came out a bit rough due to the supports but sanding and a heat gun helped.
I used meshmixer to slice the model into sections using the first of the methods described here
