Recommended Print Settings

To capture the fine textures of the Sahasralinga, the following settings are recommended for FDM and Resin printers:

FDM Printing (Bambu Lab / Creality / Elegoo)

• Layer Height: 0.08mm - 0.12mm (High detail is essential for the 1,000 carvings).
• Wall Loops: 3 or 4 for better surface definition.
• Infill: 10-15% (Gyroid recommended for structural strength).
• Print Speed: Reduce Outer Wall speed to 40-60 mm/s to ensure the miniature carvings remain sharp.
• Supports: Generally not required for the main body, but check the drainage spout (Yoni) overhang depending on your cooling setup.

Material Recommendations

• Silk Silver/Gold PLA: Gives the model a traditional metallic "Murti" appearance.
• Marble PLA: Provides a classic stone-carved look.
• Matte Grey: Best for highlighting the depth of the carvings and shadows.
