🎨 Post-Processing Magic:

Take your Nefertiti bust to the next level with some simple post-print techniques! 🖌️✨

Printing with silk filaments (gold, bronze, pearl) instantly gives a luxurious feel, while a light grey or white matte filament evokes the look of weathered stone.

You can also experiment with dry brushing using metallic paints to highlight the crown and jewelry details — creating an artifact worthy of any museum! 🎨🏛️

Light sanding can be used to gently enhance smoothness on the face and neck, preserving all the delicate features.

Optional: applying a clear satin or matte varnish will protect the print and add a subtle professional finish. 🧴🛡️

⚡ Optimized for Effortless Printing:

The 10% Gyroid infill ensures your bust is light yet stable, and the use of Tree supports (with a 10 mm base expansion) provides excellent support for overhangs like the crown and chin with minimal scarring on visible surfaces.

The 0.16 mm layer height delivers beautiful results while keeping the print time manageable. ⏳🖨️
