Pig Sow Ashtray with Piglets
Bring a touch of rustic charm and humor to your coffee table with this unique Pig Family Ashtray! This highly detailed, sculpted model features a mother sow nursing her little piglets, wrapping beautifully around the ash bowl.
It is specifically designed to look stunning when printed with Wood PLA, giving it a beautiful, clay-like, terracota, or hand-carved timber appearance right off the print bed. Perfect for cafes, pubs, workshops, or as a creative gift for smokers and animal lovers.
Key Features:
- Highly Detailed Sculpt: The texture of the fur and the cute piglets print beautifully.
- Optimized for Wood PLA: Hidden layer lines and organic look.
- Great Conversation Piece: Perfect for coffee tables, bars, and outdoor spaces.
🛠️ Printing Recommendations:
- Since this model was tested and printed using Wood PLA, here are the recommended settings for the best results:
- Material: Wood PLA (highly recommended for that organic, ceramic, or wooden look).
- Nozzle Size: 0.4mm or 0.6mm. (Note: If using Wood PLA, a 0.6mm nozzle or a wear-resistant nozzle is recommended to prevent clogging from wood fibers).
- Layer Height: 0.16mm - 0.20mm. (The organic texture hides layer lines perfectly, but 0.16mm brings out the fine details on the piglets).
- Infill: 15% - 20% (Gyroid or Grid for good stability).
- Supports: yes (auto tree)
- Wall Loops: 3-4 walls for extra durability and to ensure the ash bowl is completely solid.
⚠️ Safety Note for Smokers: Standard PLA/Wood PLA has a low melting point. If you intend to use this as a functional, daily ashtray, it is highly recommended to place a small metal coin, glass insert, or apply a heat-resistant clear epoxy coating inside the bowl to protect the plastic from direct contact with glowing cigarette butts.
Happy printing! If you like this design, please leave a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating and upload a photo of your make. I’d love to see how your Wood PLA or alternative material prints turned out!
