A raven design was requested a long time ago and chantiprints3d gave me the final push - thank you so much!I wanted to create something that interacts with the bookshelf, similar to my Perchlings.JayminProd came up with the final idea of a branch emerging from the bookshelf, holding the raven. It was quite challenging for me to design a raven that requires as few supports as possible, since any surface touched by the supports tends to lose a lot of detail and this design needs to look good from all angles. That's why I divided it into three parts, which need to be printed and assembled. The holder is the same one used for the bookshelf signs, making it a modular system. This gives your customers the option to reuse a holder they may already have at home.Unfortunately, the idea of printing the feet & the branch separately did not work out, even after scaling the feet up by another 20% and making them bulkier :/ Using a dual-nozzel / toolhead printer "only" doubles the print time (= 2h) at a 0.16mm layer height, so for now, that's the only solution I can offer. Depending on how well this model works for you and your feedback on the design, I’d love to create more birds and creatures using the same concept.
