Update

• 22/2/25 updated - Make support easier to remove / resize model 120% / top z space 0.15mm / support diameter 3mm

Notes

• I’ve currently growing real bonsai as a hobby
• But when searching for 3D model bonsai, I couldn't find one that truly matched what I had in mind.
• So, I decided to create my own using AI tools

Recommendations

• Scale up to any size match your need
• The support structures might be a bit tricky to remove, so patience is key! (Growing real bonsai also requires patience —so think of removing the supports as part of the experience!)
• Use pliers for removing supports.
• Use small plastic model cutters to trim the supports into smaller sections instead of pulling them off directly—since the branches are quite delicate and may break.
• After several trial runs, I found that printing at a 45-degree angle makes it easiest to remove the supports.
   

Here is my process

	This model started with DALL-E, an AI image generator.    After multiple rounds of trial and error with prompts, I finally got a concept image I liked.
	From there, I used Maker World's image-to-3D tool to generate the final model.
	Using Bambu Studio for final adjustment !
	Done !
