Spiral Leaves Sculpture - Support-Free Desk Plant

Model Overview & Print Notes

A decorative desk sculpture of a stylized plant: four tall grass blades rising from the center, wrapped by four broad spiral leaves and a ring of small leaves around the base. Every blade and leaf twists gently along its length and has a recessed central vein, so the silhouette changes as you walk around it. Designed to print without supports Every surface stays within 38° of vertical, no overhangs steeper than 40° Leaves are laid out so none of them intersect Low, compact mound base (Ø40 mm) keeps it stable: the center of mass sits about 26 mm above the bed, and it only tips over past ~37° Single watertight body, ready to slice Size 57 × 55 × 150 mm (W × D × H), about 30 g of PLA Print settings Orientation: upright, standing on the base Supports: none Layer height: 0.12–0.16 mm (finer layers bring out the leaf veins) Walls: 3–4 perimeters, infill 15–25% Material: PLA or PETG – matte or silk filaments look great Tip: slow down the outer walls and enable minimum layer time so the slender grass tips stay sharp Designed in Autodesk Fusion.
