I printed it at 50% scale using three different silk dual color filaments. Had to make some adjustments to the screw holes in the base. Used about 0.7kg filament and M2 screws.
Wow, what an incredible design, Herschel! Thank you so much for sharing this.
I fell in love with the model and decided to go all-in on the post-processing. It took me about 3 months of patient work, and I couldn't be happier with the result see attached images.
Here are some specs and my process for this build:
- Material: Printed at 100% scale using ~4kg of Sunlu PLA+ Black (approx. 230 hours of print time).
- Prep: Rough sanding with 320-grit, then coated all surfaces with Sunlu Standard Gray Resin and cured it under UV light to fill the print lines. Followed up with fine sanding using 600-grit.
- Paint: Degreased and primed with 2 coats of Dupli-Color Universal Primer (Red). The main color is Dupli-Color Platinum RAL 3020 (Traffic Red).
- Finish: Added Montana Glitter Spray (Silver) for that extra pop, and sealed everything with Kwasny SprayMax 2K Clear Coat for ultimate protection and shine.
- Hardware & Stability: Swapped the 135 self-tapping screws for M3x18 screws. To ensure structural stability, I had a custom backing plate made and attached it to the rear.
The final piece weighs in at a massive 7kg. It was a lot of work, but worth every single second! Thanks again for this masterpiece.
Love this design, thanks for sharing! I scaled the model down to 50% and printed 3 sets of 15 "leafs". I designed a frame, split into thirds so it would fit my build plate. Frame has a built in hole to hang it on the wall. Very happy with the results! Thanks again!
25/45 printed. Posting a make when it's done.
I printed it at 80% scale 100% infill and took about 30gr/pieces. So about 1.5kg for the whole sculpture.
Can't wait to paint it and assemble it.

Amazing work, Id recommend you upload these files to printables because then you can earn free filament with the points you get.
it uses 3.3 kg using 15% infill
do you know the diameter of the finished sculpture?
I believe it is 23.95" in diameter
Qué dimensiones tiene?
I would also like to know the amount of filament required.

Its beautiful. I'd like to know the total amount of filament required to print this tho.
