Flexi Phoenix (BETA)
🕑 Added 2022-11-11 23:35:40 +0000 UTCI'm keeping this in Beta for now because there are a few little adjustments I still want to make. Plus I made about 30 little changes since this last test print. 🤦♀️ But I think it's good. (fingers crossed)
Keep in mind you need good adhesion for the feathers.
Thanks again, and Happy printing
-Dan

Oh absolutely. This is a really old post from a couple years back. I don't delete them so people can go back through and read the information. But when you purchase it for 40% off from My Mini Factory or Cults... it's the most updated version.
Stacy Pender
is this print out of beta? Someone found this and wants me to print it for them. I just want to get the right file. thank you
Dan
I'm not telling ;)
Tiffany Gobkes
Oh I'm not saying I've had any issue. I just often get requests to make them small and that's where my worry comes from. The more simplistic models scale down a lot easier. I printed one of these at 65% just to test how small I could go and it was beautiful and decently strong for the size... that is until my husband dropped it on a concrete floor. XD
Courtney Pacula
I broke a wing joint at 75% getting it off of the plate.
Alex
There's nothing to worry about with this one, printed at full scale. Maybe add 3 or 4 lines of a brim. Just make sure there's a tiny gap between the print and the brim before you you let it get past the 2nd layer.
Alex
I did 75%. It's absolutely perfect. Feels delicate, but no problems at all.
Tiffany Gobkes
It is an amazing model. I think it's my favorite that I've printed so far. It's a pretty high bar to beat in the future. XD I have a love hate with the complex prints like this. They're so beautiful but I'm so scared of breaking them.
Dan
Probably won't change the design much, but I do have another "surprise."
Dan
Hahah. I am waaaay too young to retire :) But I really like this model.
Alex
Flexi you can retire now. This is your masterpiece. Everyone go home how. 3D printing is finished.
Anthony Reuter
Ive Printed 5 so far and have found no weak points yet at 100% size. They are also flying off as soon as they get done to! LOL
Nathan Castleberry
People are buying them like this, wonder how much better you’re going to do it.
Tiffany Gobkes
Printed at 65% on my Artillery Sidewinder X2 and it came out beautiful. I have a Fulament flex bed and used the smooth side with no adhesion issues. <3 I was worried it would be a bit fragile at that size but so far the 4 year old test has proven it to be surprisingly strong for the size. She has been pretty gentle with it though. So far no breaking even with me flailing it around excitedly. Update: My husband dropped it and it broke. XD Only one feather and a wing snapped off but that apparently is how it landed from his full height onto concrete. I've now discovered my husband is a better stress test than my child. :b
scott manning
Printed Great on my anycubic Vyper. No adhesion problems at all. Came out perfect!!!!
PROTONORD
I used textured plate and 3Dlac spray. No issues for any prints :-)
Andrew Henderson
Prints amazing on my prusa's and ender 3 s1 pros. never once an adhesion issue. please tell us your making a killer flame style display stand for this guy????!!!!!!!
Barry Cripps
Printed at 100% scale with a Duet 2 Wifi and color-shift PLA. Looks amazing! The only issue I had was keeping the feathers stuck to the bed for the whole print. I have a Wham Bam PEI sheet, and sticking isn't usually a problem, but I had to use some glue on this one, otherwise one or two of the feathers would release from the bed 1/3 of the way through the print. I love all of your designs....keep them coming! :-)
Print3dReality
I have printed this at 100%, 80% and all seems fine. Update on the 70%. the print came out great on the build plate. once I had time to get it off the build plate. Thats where it showed up. the tail fuses together at this small. The middle wings don't articulate well. The tips and feathers all move as they should and the head. the legs won't come down all the way. I have not tried 75%. However I will add. that at 80% the Phoenix articulates off the build plate without any post processing. 70% is too small. The links are too square for it to move.
Sabrina Hart
The Phoenix is amazing.... I love it!!
tom
just printed the phoenix printed outstanding!!!!!
👻 Danelle 🪬
I just printed this and it is gorgeous! I added a brim for fear the adhesion needed the support but I think even without the brim it would've been perfect!
Ryan Legere
ive printed 4 normal size and im waiting on x2 175% ones to finish they have come out absolutely perfect
Dan
I'm using several different filaments now for my marketing photos. That one was just a gray, I have the Amazon list here on patreon if you want to see what filaments I own. I just slept a light on there to make it more fiery 😁
Dan
I will always sell on Cults... But patrons get early releases. Especially this one, I won't be coming out to the public until probably December.
Dan
I really don't because I have so many machines and different settings. If you join the discord on the main page, there are lots of folks there with great ideas and recommendations. I just kind of put standard for most of my prints 15 to 20% infill, three walls..
Sarah Taubert
This prints out awesome. We have printed 2 and both are perfect
Jacob Hilderbrand
Do you post recommended settings for printing your designs?
Timo vandyck
Looks amazing! Can i ask what fillament you used? I'm thinking to use cookiecad sunrise since i see you used the brand a couple times before

Starting one on the Bambu this morning - ETA: 6hr, 15min
Nathan Castleberry
I made one and posted it on noobs, I’m sure they are already looking for it on Cults3d, to bad Cults3d takes more from you.
Mark Wheadon
I'm loving how this lays out on the print bed – I'd say this is going to look stunning in rainbow filament – the rainbow should coruscate across the wings 🎉
Dan
I have not tried that small.
Aaron Bucher
Looks amazing!
Alan Davis
Sweet! Very cool bird! Can’t wait to print it.
Paul R
Oooo love it. I’ll be Eagle-rly waiting for this one in gold.
Mawk
This model is awesome! I am going to try this on my Ender 2 Pro, since it has a .4 nozzle, it fits at 73%, have you tried printing it this small yet?
Jason P English
everything dan makes is support free
Renae ziebell
Do you need supports on this? Sorry I'm new to printing
Dan Phillips
I’ve been thinking of getting that v400. In your opinion, is it worth it?
Dan
Yep. On our discord! Links at the bottom of the main flexi factory patreon page.
Dan
Haha..oh no. Too good
Wise Impirnt
Just about done 5 hours 15% on the Flsun V400. Looking good. Thanks Dan you do great work
William Hargraves
Good adhesion isn't my problem, getting it off Is 😅 glass beds are good and bad but the same with pei beds but definitely way easier to remove prints . I be biting my nails trying to remove this one off the ultrabase 🤣
Matthew Redmon
Is there anywhere in particular where people post photos of stuff like this?
Dustin Schwarten
Got mine on the printer now
Matthew Redmon
Just started it. 14 hours sized at 100% with 10% infill. I don't want to wait that long (making it for my daughter Phoenix) but also wanted to run it at 0.08mm layer height so I'll have to be a bit more patient than usual. Running at default speeds (up to 450mm/s) except I slowed the outer wall down to 50mm/s (helps with shiny filament like I'm using on this).
Carla Schrum
18 hours at 20% infill
Carla Schrum
ohhh cannot wait for one of the printers to get done this is amazing ty much
