A bold, stylised horse‑head pen topper designed to celebrate the Year of the Horse. Angular contours and carved details give it a modern, sculpted look, while the raised “2026” adds a crisp commemorative touch. Lightweight and eye‑catching, it turns any pen into a small display piece with personality.
Print Instructions
• Print upright with the base down for best detail on the horse head.
• Supports required — tree supports (slim or similar) work best to reach under the chin, mane angles, and underside curves without scarring the surface.
• Keep support density low to avoid fusing to the model.
• Use a slower outer wall speed to keep the angled facial planes clean.
• 0.16–0.2 mm layer height gives a good balance of detail and print time.
• If painting, a light dry‑brush will bring out the sculpted edges and the “2026” marking.
