Tabletop plant: "Rhododendron Nostril 3" (Alien Vegetation 27)

This is a variation ofThe Rhododendron Nostril Plant which I published before this one.

It features some flower-like thingies instead of the thorns. I guess, it really depends on the paint job if this one is dangerous, beautiful - or both. :-)

A word of caution: I know, that this will probably be a bravery test for FDM printer owners...
However, it still worked astonishingly well on my CR10 - even with a 0.4mm nozzle.

Hope you like it. Have fun!

[EDIT: Based on a request, and in addition to the original merged RhododendronArcFiber.stl, I've also added a version that is split into several parts. This way, the thorns and the stem can be printed separately. As the thorns come in different sizes, there are three groups (top/mid/low). Low thorns will fit into the lower 8 sockets, mid thorns fit into the 5 mid sockets and the top one goes on top. :-)]

Btw: Like my last few models, this one also features a small hole on the bottom. This can come in handy when painting the plant. This way it can be turned into a plant on a stick which makes holding it a lot easier.)

One last thing: It prints nicelywithout support.

If you print this one, feel free to post a make - I'd really like to see how it works out for you.
