Glory (from Wings of Fire) - Painted model for Prusa XL

Model Overview & Print Notes

This model is phenomenal!  It is very high res and scales very well!  I wanted to give a print of the model as a gift to a fan of the Wings of Fire book series and also take advantage of the 5 colors feature of my Prusa XL 5-tool.   I painted the model based on various images of Glory that I found online.  I took some artistic license because painting in Prusaslicer is a pain and has very simple tools, that I'm a novice when it comes to artistic stuff and 3D model painting, and I only had 5 colors to work with.   As such it's not exactly what I believe the “canon” Glory looks like, but I think I did a good job!  It came out so well that I thought I should share my 3mf file to save people the hours upon hours of tedious painting. I printed using Hatchbox PLA mostly, and AMOLEN Silk PLA for the Red/Gold as follows: Hatchbox Metallic Green (modified default Hatchbox PLA settings with bumping temps to 230 deg C) Hatchbox Metallic Light Green (modified default Hatchbox PLA settings with bumping temps to 230 deg C, but I think this had some stringing and possibly could use a drop in temps)) Hatchbox Light Blue (stock Hatchbox PLA settings) Hatchbox Metallic Blue (modified default Hatchbox PLA settings with bumping temps to 230 deg C) AMOLEN Silk Dual Color Red/Gold (used the stock Hatchbox PLA settings).  I had ordered a gradient filament but they shipped a dual color (it's split down the middle of the filament, which isn't ideal for the gradual transition I was going for), and I was impatient so I used it.  Still wasn't exactly what I wanted but is quite pretty.  I would still recommend a gradient filament and printing both wings at the same time so that the color on both transitions upwards in the print at the same rate. Printed with the 0.2mm Structure preset with 0.6 nozzles.
