Ancient Totem Backflow Incense Burner

This design takes a different direction from the vase series — something more tribal, bold, and expressive.

The totem-style face is packed with layered details, symbols, and textures that really come alive once printed.
With the addition of Rub ‘n Buff, the highlights catch the light and bring out every small feature, giving it a carved, almost ancient artifact look.

When used with backflow incense cones, the smoke flows through the mouth and down the structure, creating a dramatic and almost ritual-like effect.

This one isn’t just relaxing — it has presence.

To achieve the flowing smoke effect, you must use backflow incense cones (cones with a hole at the bottom).
You can easily find them by searching: “backflow incense cones”.

🎨 FINISH IDEAS

This model really shines with finishing techniques:

• Rub ‘n Buff (gold, bronze, copper)
• Dry brushing for contrast
• Matte black base + metallic highlights
• Multi-color filament for a more experimental look

⚠️ Important Usage Notes

• Do not leave burning incense unattended
• Always place the burner on a heat-resistant surface
• Use a small metal washer/ring under the cone to prevent direct contact with PLA
• Ensure proper ventilation while in use
