Hummingbird & Flower Suncatcher — Stained-Glass
Print Profile(1)
Description
Caught mid-hover, beak reaching for a blooming flower — this hummingbird suncatcher is one of the most color-rich designs in the Kinetic Garden Collection. The wide horizontal composition pairs a jewel-toned bird in full wing extension with a detailed flower and branching stem, filling a window with color from edge to edge. With translucent filament, every panel glows independently in the light.

💡 Tips & Tricks
- Best display: west-facing window catches late afternoon light across the full wingspan and flower panels simultaneously
- Translucent upgrade: the wide color range in this design makes it one of the most striking in translucent — each zone glows a different hue independently
- Scaling for translucency: when scaling up, uncheck uniform scale in Bambu Studio and manually set Z to 3mm
- Outdoor use: reprint in PETG for UV and moisture resistance — color zones transfer 1:1
- Pair it: the horizontal composition hangs beautifully alongside vertical bird portraits like the AGW Cardinal or Blue Jay for a mixed window gallery
