About this 3D model
Important: I spent many days sculpting this 3D model, and keeping a store open is very expensive. Tribe memberships, purchases, and donations will allow me to keep this store open at these prices. If it doesn't yield positive results, I'll have to close it soon. Bonsai Dragon with a huge stormy power carved in wood!Design ConceptIt's made to look like wood and can be printed in a single color, brown, or a combination of gold, black, and brown! (This is my original palette; feel free to invent your own!). If printed in monochrome brown, if you also insert a light inside the cave, you will get a more colossal effect! The artistic techniqueIt looks like real wood because it is hand carved with Z-Brush but I studied fine art and sculpture, so I know how to carve the details so that the acrylic and shadow fit into the cracks emphasizing the imperfections of the wood. I performed a decimation to reduce the weight of the sculpt and make it easier to recustomize with slicing. The secretI chose swirling brushstrokes with strong incisions at the corners to make some sections of the wood resemble a lightning storm. I don't know how many will notice these details, but it took me several days to sculpt them! + the shape of the infinity that you will surely have noticed because it is an 8 :) PurposeThis model serves as an ornamental piece, perfect for display on desks or shelves. It can also act as a functional decoration during tabletop games holding dices and lights. You can use the cave as an object holder (key holder, jewel holder) or to keep an importante picture. Assembly Instructions:Measure your LED lights to decide how big to print (measure the inside of the cave). No post-assembly, just print it and remove the supports. My printing parameters: TREE SUPPORTS. Speed: 200mm/s or 300 if you can. Infill density: 15% or less (7% is fine). Layer: 0.12mm (or less) Temp: 220°C max with PLA Half + Fast version now inculded!
