Rainbow Silk Reindeer – 150% Display Model

Rainbow Silk Reindeer – 150% Display Model

Designed & print-tested by Printworks3DStudios (P3DS)

Printed in Multicolour Silk PLA

This elegant reindeer was printed using multicolour silk PLA, giving it a natural colour-shifting gradient from blue to green to gold.
No AMS colours were used — the smooth transitions and shine come entirely from the filament.

Perfect as a Christmas decoration, shelf display piece, or a unique gift.
At 150% scale, it stands tall, detailed, and eye-catching.
