DMB Grey Street Flame Dancer Suncatcher Stain Glass Garden Decor

This one is for all you Dave Matthew's Band fans out there! The Grey Street Flame Dancer Sun Catcher is a beautiful mixture of vibrant colors in a shattered stained glass style suncatcher, with the iconic DMB Flame Dancer in grey as the focal point. If you don't know the song or even the band, it's still a beautiful piece. If you're a fan, this multicolor decoration is sure to pluck your sentimental heartstrings.

Part of the GP3D Stained Glass Series (see below), the Flame Dancer is double-sided with ultra-thin colors inside to mimic a real stained glass effect. It comes in multiple pieces for easy printing, and goes together like a puzzle, making it as fun to build as it is to hang in your window, garden, or anywhere that gets sunlight.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
There are a total of 10 STL files in the ZIP file. Note the "WHOLE" file is just for display on Cults3D, and is not meant for printing. See images above for instructional pictures to help assembly. The file names include the colors I used (all in iiiDMAX PLA+ filament). Feel free to change them up as you wish.

• Flame Dancer - Black Bottom
• Flame Dancer - Black Top
• Flame Dancer - Dk Blue Glass
• Flame Dancer - Green Glass
• Flame Dancer - Grey Glass
• Flame Dancer - Lt Blue Glass
• Flame Dancer - Orange Glass
• Flame Dancer - Purple Glass
• Flame Dancer - Red Glass
• Flame Dancer - Yellow Glass

Each color piece has been carefully rendered to fit perfectly into the recessed areas of the "Bottom" section. The "Glass" color pieces are ultra-thin and should only print 2-layers thick (at 0.16 Layer Height). This is important to ensure a translucent print, and that light is able to illuminate softly through the other side.

Inserting the colors is like doing a child's puzzle. It should be very easy to tell what goes where. Use tiny dots of glue to secure each of these in place.

Next, add glue to the underside of the Top section. Only use tiny dots, but a lot of them for good adhesion. Then line up the Top section over the Bottom and gently press them together. Use clips or clothes pins to hold the pieces together and allow ample time to dry. I like to use fishing line and/or a small keyring to hang suncatchers.

Enjoy!

TOP & BOTTOM
These sections will print well under basic settings.

Layer Quality: 0.2
Infill: 20%
Speed: 60mm/s
Supports: No
Plate Adhesion: None

MIDDLE PIECES (Grey Body & Colored Glass)
These pieces must print very thin to remain slightly translucent. They are only 0.32mm thick. Use the following settings to ensure they print in just two layers.

Layer Quality: 0.16
Initial Layer: 0.16
Infill: 100%
Speed: 40mm/s
Supports: No

Tip: If you're having trouble printing these smoothly, try using Cura's 'Enable Ironing' setting. It takes a little longer to print, but the nozzle will go back over the top layer to smooth it out, just like you would iron clothing to remove wrinkles.
