Bird Figurine - Blue jay

I made this model off a capture I took of a blue jay figurine. Turned out well scaled up or at normal size.

**I'm sharing my files so that you can make them for yourselves or give them away as gifts. I hope you enjoy them. I do not authorize sale of my work by anyone. Please don't ask me.**

**ABOUT THE DESIGN**
Yep, this is yet another variation on my Christmas Balls with Integrated Stems. You can't keep a good designer down. There's no photo because my prototype is still printing. Still, it's 80% done and the rest is identical to other prints I;'ve published, so I already know it should work. Give it a try. It's relatively easy to print. 

**RESIZING**
This ornament should scale up well, but I'm not sure how much smaller you could print it using a consumer FDM printer. Using a resin printer, you could probably print it much smaller.

**PRINT TIME**
About 6 hours

**PRINT SETTINGS**
The trickiest parts to print is the top of the stems. Using FDM, if you don't temp, speed, flow, and cooling right, the thin parts of the stem will melt as you print. Thinner walls help. If that's not enough, try increasing the layer height.

*Thickness*

* Layer thickness: .15 mm
* Wall thickness: 0.4 – 0.8 mm.

I had the best results using Cura setting the default width to 0.4 mm and adding custom settings for the main ball that printed it 0.8 mm thick. You can do this by adding a support blocker to the bottom and giving it custom settings of 0.4 mm. Cura adds the two and prints the area within the blocker at 0.8 mm.

*Infill*
These do not need any infill. JUST DON'T DO IT.

*Speed*
* Outer Wall: 35 mm/sec
* Inner Wall: 40 mm/sec
* Travel SpeeD: 60 mm/sec

*Build Plate Adhesion*
I used a brim. With the supports, you shouldn't need a raft.

*Supports*
You will probably need supports for both bed adhesion and the overhang on the first few layers. You shouldn't need supports for the loop at the top. Adding them would just increase the chances the supports broke and caused the print to fail. If you get supports inside the ball, just add a support blocker.

* Support Structure: Normal
* Support Placement: Touching Buildplate
* Support Overhang Angle: 60 Degrees
