Ray Through the Ages - 鳐溯春秋

Creative 3D - Printable Toy Ray Model

The design inspiration of this toy ray model comes from the ray-shaped bronze horse ornament of the Spring and Autumn Period. This precious cultural relic dates back about 2,500 years. It was unearthed in 1966 and is currently housed in the Liaoning Museum. 

The Spring and Autumn Period is a very important historical stage in ancient China, lasting approximately from 770 BC to 476 BC. It got its name from the famous historical book Spring and Autumn Annals of that time. 

The model highly restores the shape of a ray, combining beauty and fun. Its unique feature is that it can be 3D - printed as a single piece, eliminating the need for complex assembly steps. Whether you are a 3D - printing enthusiast or someone interested in ancient cultural relics, you can easily make it. Through 3D printing, you can present the charm of ancient cultural relics in the form of a modern toy and experience the artistic collision across thousands of years.

This model features a redesigned hinge structure. The contact surface with the heated bed is larger than that of the previous generation, and the structure is more robust, significantly increasing the printing success rate.

Dear media creators, if you like my 3D models, you are welcome to print them and upload them to your video channels. However, during this process, please clearly indicate the source of the models in the videos, state that the author is MingGY, and attach the links to the models. Without permission, any commercial use or resale of the models is strictly prohibited. You are welcome to send me the links to the videos you have published in the comments section. 

各视频自媒体创作者，如果你们喜欢我的3D模型，欢迎将其打印出来并上传到你们的视频频道。不过，在此过程中，请务必在视频中清晰标注模型的来源，注明作者是mingGY，并附上模型的链接。未经许可，严禁将这些模型用于任何商业用途或进行转售。欢迎你们在评论区把已发布视频的链接发给我。 

Printing Tips: As some parts of the model have a small contact surface with the heated bed, they may detach from the heated bed during the printing process. To increase the printing success rate, please clean the printing plate with dish soap and spray glue before printing. Using a low - temperature warming printing plate can significantly enhance the printing success rate.

Feel free to leave a comment if you have any suggestions or questions about the model. When problems occur, please tell apart whether the issue is caused by the model itself, the printer, the filament, or improper operation and installation on your own part. I will block users who blindly attribute printing failures to the model and leave a one-star rating simply because they are unable to troubleshoot and fix problems by themselves. Such behavior greatly undermines the efforts of open-source creators.

有任何关于模型的建议或疑问，欢迎评论留言。出现问题时，请先区分原因：是模型本身、打印设备、耗材，还是个人操作与安装不当造成的。对于自身没有排查和解决问题的能力，却一味将打印失败归咎于模型并给出一星差评的用户，我将进行拉黑处理。这类行为会严重辜负开源创作者的心血与付出。
