I find that support helps the details print better on the lower part of the bottom half and a brim helps the top half stick to the bed, especially when printing with silk filaments. The details print better for me on my Bambu P1S when I print slow, but you can try incrementally increasing the speed. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI made every bit of this from scratch, including the scales. I made the scales by importing a custom texture into a Blender brush and placing every scale one at a time, adjusting the size as I went. I designed it with Sketchup, Blender, Fusion 360, and Meshmixer. (And Gimp for the scale alpha.)\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255,255,255); color: rgb(42,42,42); font-size: 16px\"\u003eIf you find this model useful, feel free to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer ugc\" href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/tonyyoungblood\"\u003ebuy me a coffee\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255,255,255); color: rgb(42,42,42); font-size: 16px\"\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou may sells PRINTS of this design, but you MAY NOT sell the digital files or share them on any repository.
