Recommended Print Settings:
For this sleek tail, we recommend printing with PLA filament for its ease of use and ability to achieve a smooth surface, which is ideal for post-processing to a high gloss. If you desire a flexible or bendable prop, TPU or other flexible filaments are highly recommended. For the best visual impact, consider printing in a deep crimson or similar red filament, then finishing with a clear glossy coat.
A layer height of 0.15mm to 0.2mm will provide a good balance between detail and print speed. Due to its tapering nature and sharp tip, supports will likely be necessary for any overhangs, particularly for the underside of the spade tip and if printed horizontally to prevent sagging. We suggest an infill of 15-20% for good structural integrity, especially if intended for active use in cosplay or as a prop. Printing orientation can significantly affect the final look and required supports, so consider printing vertically with minimal supports at the base for a smoother finish along the length.
This model is more than just a print; it's an opportunity to inject personality and flair into your creative projects. It’s incredibly fun to print and customize, offering endless possibilities for bringing your character or decorative vision to life.
