Love Alocasias but you heard they are a little bit of drama queens? No worries! Here’s a 3d printable model of Alocasia Micholitziana Frydek plant with six easily detachable leaves that can be used as coasters.

Description and assembly

The model contains these objects: 5 pots, soil, 2 stems and 6 leaves.

Print profiles and suggestions

Printing suggestions:

- Use slighty higher nozzle and bed temperature for first layer when printing leaves to have less gaps between colors

- Print slower for better quality, set initial layer and initial layer infill to 50 mm/s, outer wall, inner wall and top surface to 100 mm/s

- Supports are needed only for the tips of the stems.

Suggestions for Orca slicer 2.0.0. or above:

- Use scarf seam for printing the pot. With scarf seam the pot is almost seamless. Use these settings in Quality tab:

    o Outer wall width: 0.6mm,

    o Scarf joint seam: Contour,

    o Conditional scarf joint: on,

    o Wall generator: Arachne,

    o Wall printing order: Inner/Outer/Inner.

- Print the stems with Mouse ear type of brim.

- Up the Bottom surface flow ratio to 1.2 so the leaves (printed face-down) have no gaps between colors.
