Gravity Defying Balancing Eagle! (Print in Place)

Hey everyone! Coming back to you with another fun easy print, a low poly balancing eagle!

This satisfying, gravity-defying, print results from my magical engineering powers (mwahaha), or in reality using the power of center of mass!

Take this eagle anywhere and see what you can balance it on, and be amazed!

This print is print in place and meant to be scalable, but I recommend not going beyond 100% as I set up the tolerancing to work best between 70% and 100%. At 70% scale, the print is about 33 g and takes 2.5 hrs.

The coolest part about this design is that if you take it into Bambu studio and increase the infill, you most likely will get an eagle that sits more flat over the perch I designed for him. This is due to simple science and math, since the center of gravity sits right on the eagle's nose! That is why the wings look so long and large. But rather than do that math calculation myself, I let the fancy computers do it :).

If the eagle is not balancing quite to how you want it, you can adjust the wing height. But be wary as I designed the wings to naturally sit at the angle seen in the first photo. You will experience this when you take the eagle off the printer.

I hope you enjoy! And let me know your thoughts/recommendations for future prints in the comments!
