KOTLC Sencen Family Crest Keepers of Lost Cities

NOTE: If you like this, please let me know. And if you want more, let me know which family crest you would like me to work on next!

For fans of the Keepers of the Lost Cities series by Shannon Messenger, here is a re-creation of the Song Family Crest Pin. I tried to be as faithful to the official illustration by Laura Hollingsworth as possible:

IMPORTANT NOTE: This model is intended to be printed with a 0.2mm nozzle at 0.12mm layer height and height range modifiers to reduce the layer height to 0.06mm at the top to enhance detail. This is to properly capture the intricate details of the crest. If you want to print this with a 0.4mm nozzle, you may want to scale it larger and adjust your layer heights and layer height modifiers or you may end up losing too much detail. YMMV.

You have two options to print this in multicolor. I have included profiles for each method:

1. A standard multi-color print.
   1. Starting around 4.06mm height, there are three colors, so there is purging even on a dual nozzle printer like the H2D
   2. For vertical detail, I've reduced the layer height to 0.06mm starting at the 3mm layer, so there is a lot of color changes (and resulting purges)
2. Multi-part Model (Recommended)
   1. I've custom designed the model to be printed in multiple parts. No color changes so no waste during filament swaps.
   2. Three colors are required and I've separated them into separate plates for easy printing.
   3. All models have a modifier to reduce the layer height starting at the surface detail layer.
   4. Assembly is easy with just a few dabs of glue
   5. The flame is extremely small and bed adhesion is likely to be challenging. I've added a brim, but if you have good bed adhesion, you can disable it before printing.

If you resize the model, please carefully re-check the layer at the layer height changes. They should start at the top surface details.

You can use it as a pin by sticking a brooch pinback to the back of the model.
