Out of the Frame – Owl Unseen

• 2026-05-01 Updated print profile
  • as preventative measures to improve print reliability
    • Increased support wall loops to 2
    • Painted certain areas more supports
    • Applied filament override settings
  • For the 150mm scales (plates 2 and 4), I increased the layer height to speed up printing.

Out of the Frame – Owl Unseen

Dramatic owl bursting from its frame in classic "Out of the Frame" style. Detailed feathers, piercing gaze, and powerful talons create a striking wall sculpture. Built-in keyhole hanger for easy mounting… no extra hardware needed. Perfect as single-color art.

Print Profile

• Layer height: 0.12 mm
• Walls: 2
• Infill: 5% (Gyroid; infill combination enabled → wall art needs no extra strength)
• Supports: tree(auto)

Plates

1. 100 mm
2. 150 mm
3. 100 mm + Fuzzy Skin
4. 150 mm + Fuzzy Skin

Key Printing Tips:

• Disable “Strength → Detect Thin Wall” → gives smoother, cleaner surfaces on detailed parts.
• Always check the slicing preview in Bambu Studio before starting the print.
• Support removal trick: Cut supports into small chunks first, then gently loosen → they usually pop off cleanly without damage.
• Some plates use lots of supports, if so → for reliable prints use these filament settings:
  • Filament Overrides
    • Z Hop When Retract: 0.6 mm
    • Z Hop Type: Spiral
    • Travel Distance Threshold: 1 mm
    • ✅ Enable Retract When Changing Layer
  • Also, disable these settings in Bambu Studio if Variable Layer height is used:
    • Supports
      • ❌ Disable Independent Support Layer Height
    • Others
      • ❌ Disable Reduce Infill Retraction
    • I’ve found that a 0.15 mm top Z distance works best when printing with variable layer height.
