te hago una pregunta a mi la parte superior me queda fea , queda como si la boquilla arrastra el filamento ; usted tuvo el mismo problema o le imprimio bien , yo tengo una A1

Hi! if your print looks to be scratched on top it may be due to over-extrusion. I suggest checking and cleaning your nozzle for any debris or wear and running flow calibration and printer calibrations to make sure your printer is running smoothly

They may crack a small amount when bending but you have to bend slowly. You can also use heat to soften them before bending too. You can use a warm print bed, heat gun, hairdryer, lighter, torch, stuff like that should all work, just be careful not to melt them since they're so thin.

These are so beautiful and easy to print. I think they need dragonfly friends though:)!!!

Hi there, I am a newbie and I have just downloaded this file. I think its stunning thank you for creating. I have a question. I only have a printer that has access to one colour at a time. Does the file allow you to change the filament mid print, to get all the beautiful colours? Same with the ivy leaves on the fridge magnet.

Hi there! Thank you so much for being a member. The butterflies don’t have built-in color change options, but you could achieve that look by adding pauses in your slicer and swapping the filament manually (though they do require quite a few changes). The Ivy Leaves are a little simpler, since they only need one switch for the white veins on the last 2 layers. Another option is to print in a single color and add a personal touch with hand painting. Both approaches can look beautiful!

I know this may sound bad but how do you bend them? I'm so afraid of breaking them.

Heat gun to soften the wing connection to the body works great, just dont melt the antenna!

You can bend the slowly and they may crack a small bit but as long as you aren't bending them over and over again they shouldn't break. You could also use a torch or heat gun too, very lightly, to soften it enough to bend and they shouldn't break or crack that way

I printed these and i found if you take them off the heat bed, they are warm enough to give you a good bend. I am really pleased with how they turned out. I had to change each colour each time, but all in all it turned out well considering I had to manually change colours.
