FITA - Skull Bound by a Golden Ribbon
=====================================

A display sculpture: an anatomical skull wrapped by one continuous ribbon.
Size: 127 x 166 x 222 mm (W x D x H). Fits any 256 mm class printer.

FILES
- FITA_skull_and_base.stl   skull + base (ivory / bone colour)
- FITA_ribbon_gold.stl      the ribbon (gold)
The two STLs share the same origin. Load them together and they line up exactly.

TWO COLOURS (PrusaSlicer / OrcaSlicer, MMU or multi-tool)
1. Drag both STLs into the slicer at the same time.
2. When asked "Load these files as a single object with multiple parts?", answer Yes.
3. Assign filament 1 (ivory) to "FITA_skull_and_base" and filament 2 (gold) to "FITA_ribbon_gold".
4. Set support material and support interface to filament 1, so gold is only used on the ribbon.

ONE COLOUR
Load both STLs as a single object with multiple parts (step 2 above) and print with one filament.

RECOMMENDED SETTINGS (tested on a Bambu Lab X2D, 0.4 mm nozzle, PLA)
- Layer height 0.16 mm, 3 walls, 12% gyroid infill
- Tree / organic supports, overhang threshold 30 degrees, supports from the build plate and on the model
- Brim: auto (keep it on)
- Two colours: about 23 h, 299 g ivory + 89 g gold (Bambu, with prime tower)
- One colour: about 14 h, 285 g
- Silk gold or metallic PLA makes the ribbon shine. A matte ivory or bone PLA for the skull.

TIPS
- Remove the supports under the jaw and the front loop slowly with pliers: the ribbon is thin where it floats.
