SPARROW IN FLIGHT - 22 UNIQUE SILHOUETTES

There are 22 unique silhouettes in this collection.

For getting the best top surface (without post processing), I would recommend either using ironing or curating your top surface with the method below. These settings are for Cura, but other slicers should have equivalent settings. I've found this method to be more consistent and more clean than ironing.

Key Settings for a perfect top layer:

Top Surface Skin Layers = 1 
Top Layers = at least 3 (may need 4 to get best surface finish)
Top Surface Skin Speed = 25mm/s
Top Surface Skin Line Width = .28mm 
Monotonic Top Surface Order = On 
Combing = Not in Skin

NOTE: I was also using a matte PLA. But the settings will still work great with regular PLA, just will have more shine.

The idea here is to curate your top surface to be as clean as possible. The Top Surface Skin Layers gives you control over just the top layer. Having 3 (or more) top layers sets up a good foundation for the skin layer. Top Surface Skin Speed makes sure that your print speed is slow enough to allow for nice clean extrusion. Top Surface Skin Line Width minimizes the visibility of the individual lines. You could go even a little smaller, though not too much if you’re using a .4mm nozzle. Monontonic Top Surface Order makes sure that everything is printed and overlaps in the same direction, which produces uniformity in the top layer sheen. Combing: Not in Skin prevents the nozzle from dragging across the top of the print.

Other Settings:

The designs are optimized for best results with .2mm layer height.

See the description for my recommendation on getting the best top layer finish.

I printed these at 50% infill with 3 top and bottom layers. You could also just print them solid.
