Background

The architectural prototype is inspired by a design scheme I have cherished since my study days, "Nest for Growth" / College of Environmental Design, University of California, Berkeley + Kengo Kuma & Associates. The wooden structure, combined with the translucent, hazy exterior, creates a unique beauty. This is also my first uploaded work. Please feel free to leave any comments or suggestions for improvement, and I will strive to refine it.

Printing Materials: The model depicted below is designed to be printed in multiple parts for optimal results. The lighting fixtures are compatible with the official 001 light kit. Here are the recommended materials for the different sections, keeping in mind that no specific brand of consumables is being endorsed:

• Blue Box Section (Transparent Parts): It is suggested to use transparent PLA for the parts highlighted in the blue box. Transparent PLA allows for a clear and see-through appearance, which is ideal for showcasing intricate details or creating a unique aesthetic.
• Yellow Box Section (Non-Transparent Parts): For the parts outlined in the yellow box, a brown PLA is recommended. Brown PLA offers a warm and earthy tone that can complement various design themes or simply add visual interest to the model.

• Pillar - Main Structure Section

  The main structure incorporates a substantial amount of custom-built supports to bridge the span, allowing you to disregard any overhang warnings in the printing studio. These supports feature预留缝隙 (pre-determined gaps) for straightforward removal; simply grasp them with pointed pliers and gently twist. However, during removal, take care not to bump or break other components, particularly the bottom rods.

• Foot - Base Section

  To enrich the overall texture, the base is printed with a fluffy material. Internally, it is reinforced with custom square supports that need to be dismantled after printing.

• Light - Socket Section

  For proper functionality of the threading, this section is printed using standard printing methods. It is advisable to print it separately from the base to ensure the best possible outcome.

• Surface - Exterior Shell

  Crafted from transparent PLA, this section requires no additional support during printing. To maximize transparency, it is recommended to set the print speed at 50%, as increasing the speed can result in reduced transparency in the final product.

• Roof - Roofing Section

  The roof is also printed using transparent PLA. It is recommended to enable tree-like supports or select the option to support only critical areas to minimize unnecessary supports. Note that during testing, some challenges may arise in the overhanging areas. To preserve transparency, it is advisable to maintain a print speed of 50%, remembering that raising the speed can compromise the clarity of the finished roof.
