Steampunk Wasp features a print in place, support free (except wings), body with folding and latching leg joints and a set of wings (minimal supports required) which snap fit onto the body. AI was NOT used in the design of this 3d model, however AI was used for the backgrounds in some of the images. The 3d CAD model was created using vector modelling and took 100+ hours to draw.

The finished model is articulated at hips, knees, head and base of wings.

Alternatively there is static .stl of a posed body single object provided (wings are still separate)

The articulated model has a maximum print footprint of approx. 198 x 198 mm, making it compatible with many FDM printers. The static posed model version is fully scalable and suitable for resin printing.

Files included:

• .3mf files in single colour (approx. 9 hour print time total), 2 colour (approx. 13 hour print time total) and 4 colour versions (approx. 45 hour print time total). [all based on 0.08mm layer height, high quality setting on Bambu P1P.]
• .stl files for all parts
• Static standing pose .stl (scalable)

There is also an alternative wing design which is closed on one face, the idea being that a layer of transparent material can be used to give wing see through closed structure.

For best results use 0.08mm layer height and 'high quality' setting. (this model will really benefit from using your printers best quality setting) _ The knee joints can sometimes be a point of failure when doing final assembly, especially if using standard Silk PLA which can be brittle once fully cooled; I recommend: Counter flexing the knee joints to free them up before moving them into latch position Try supporting the joint with your hands on both sides when flexing. I have found that with silk PLA (mostly likely to cause a problem) if you flex the joints when the model is freshly printed and retains some residual heat it is less brittle. The Filament I would recommend is SUNLU Silk PLA+, this is less brittle than many Silk PLA offerings and I have printed many times with this material, and it has produced attractive and reliable results._
