3D printing settings

“True North” is a high-resolution 3D model designed for accurate reproduction of the original soapstone carving. Follow these recommendations to achieve the best results when printing:

Recommended Printer Settings:
• Layer Height: 0.1 mm or finer to capture intricate details
• Infill: 15-20% for structural integrity (increase for larger prints)
• s: Required for undercuts, especially beneath the bear’s legs and base
• Wall Thickness: Minimum 1.2 mm for durability
• Adhesion: Use a brim or raft to ensure secure bed adhesion

Material Suggestions:
• Resin: For the highest level of detail and smooth surfaces
• PLA or PETG: Durable and versatile, perfect for a variety of finishes
• Metal-Filled Filament: Achieves a stone- or bronze-like aesthetic

Post-Processing Tips:
1. Sand and polish resin prints for an ultra-smooth finish.
2. Apply primer and paint to customize the piece or achieve a natural look.
3. Experiment with patinas or metallic paints for a striking, bronze-like effect.
4. For larger prints, consider segmenting the model for easier assembly and reduced printing time.

Scaling Instructions:
The model can be resized in your slicer software to suit your needs. For smaller prints, ensure you adjust printer settings to maintain fine detail.

Additional Notes:
• Carefully inspect and orient the model in your slicer for optimal placement.
• Test-print smaller sections if needed to refine settings before creating a full-sized version.
