Yuri Gagarin Staute - 50th Anniversary

With this statue, I would like to pay tribute to the memory of Gagarin, the first astronaut.

I originally planned to print the statue for Gagarin’s 50th anniversary, but unfortunately I slipped it a bit.

My goal was to design a statue that was somewhat similar to the old Soviet more angular, more robust style, but perhaps this statue eventually became rounder.

I listened to this music a few times while the model was made. =D

This is a good album anyway. =)

Print Settings

• Material: Gembird - Silver Pla
• Nozzle: 0.4mm
• Layerheight: 0.1mm (yes it is a bit of an exaggeration=D)
• Supports: None
• Seam position: Aligned
• Seam Paint: Modell Backside

Text model

• Detect thin wall: On
• Skirt height: 11 (It helps to keep a model from getting dirty when replacing the filament.)
• If possible, print with 0.25 nozzle for better quality.
• The color change simple z layer color change.

For Mini Settings
Printer Settings - Extruder

• Length: 1.2
• Retraction Speed: 40
• Retract amount before wipe: 0

This is necessary because I have noticed that the mini sometimes leaves rather ugly scars, not only when changing layers, but every time after retraction and travel.
I hope and the observations show that these settings have improved on this settings.

Post Process

If you want, glue it text table the model.
