virgin sculpture pedestal

The figure is a decorative ornamental model, composed of a main body with defined reliefs and contrast areas designed to be highlighted by a color change during printing. The design features curved surfaces, smooth edges, and embossed details, optimized for FDM printing without supports or with minimal supports, depending on the chosen orientation.

🔧 Model Technical Specifications

• Print type: FDM/FFF.
• Recommended layer height: 0.16–0.20 mm to preserve details.
• Suggested material: PLA or PETG.
• Orientation: Flat base towards the bed to ensure stability.
• Supports: Only required in areas with overhangs greater than 55° (depending on user settings).
• Infill: 10–20% (does not affect the final aesthetic).

🎨 Programmed color change

The file is configured to perform an automatic pause (M600 or standard pause depending on the slicer) at a specific point in the print. This pause allows changing the filament so that the part comes out in two colors, clearly differentiating:

• Color 1: Main body of the figure.
• Color 2: Top details or highlighted areas (according to the design).

The color change is placed at an exact height where the model transitions from smooth surfaces to decorative details, ensuring clean contrast without artifacts.

🧩 Reason for the pause

The pause is programmed to:

• Maintain detail precision without the need for painting afterwards.
• Ensure that the color change is perfectly aligned with the design.
• Avoid loss of quality or shifts when resuming printing.
