Printing Instructions:

• For Prusa MK3S or MINI, you can use the provided gcode - it includes filament change pauses.
• For other printers / slicers, set a filament change after 0.4mm, and another after 0.8mm.
  (model is 1.2mm total thickness)
   
• The antennae can be a little tricky - check your first layer height if it's not sticking.
   
• For traditional Monarch colouring use filaments
  • Natural or White, then
  • Orange, then
  • Black.
• I recommend light or translucent colours on the bottom two layers, to allow light through.
  • In the photographed butterfly I used Natural, Transparent Red, Galaxy Black
     
• You can bend the wings / antennae after printing, if you wish
  • Move a lighter or small flame back and forth under the body of the butterfly for 4-5 seconds.
    (do not touch the flame to the plastic, keep it away from direct contact)
  • Gently bend the butterfly, then hold in place while it cools down.
  • Go slow - you can always add more heat later.
