This is a 120mm high print of Cosmo Wenman’s scan of the Winged Victory of Samothrace that he posted on Thingiverse http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:196038

I printed it using ColorFabb woodfill in Makerware on a Replicator 2 0.2mm layer height and 5% fill, it came out very well.

Along with the Venus de Milo (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:196037), I think it’s an excellent start to a Classical chess set.

The wood fibres give a brittle (like fibreboard) texture to the support material making it very easy to remove.

I found that after about 6 hours printing (only 4 on this model) with a 0.4 mm nozzle*, there was a tendency for the filament flow to slow. I found that flushing the nozzle with normal PLA every 2 hours sorted this out.

*ColorFabb recommend a 0.5 mm nozzle

Thanks for the marvellous scans Cosmo, I need at least another 4 to complete the chess set, so I hope you share some more :slight_smile:

What was the print time and layer resolution for the Winged Victory? Think I’ll do one in white ABS. If that doesn’t work, I’ll order PLA.

I scaled it to 120 mm high, layer height 0.2 mm fill 5% 2 perimeters, 90 mm/s. It took just over 4 hours to print.

I’ll give it a try when I get back!
