Print Settings & Recommendations

This model is optimized for easy filament switching (by layer height) or multi-color systems like Bambu Lab AMS.

• Layer Height: 0.2 mm for standard prints, or 0.16 mm for ultra-smooth text and silhouette details.
• Infill: 15% - 20% (Rectilinear or Gyroid).
• Top/Bottom Layers: 4 or 5 to ensure a completely solid, premium finish on the flat surfaces.
• Supports: No supports needed! It prints completely flat on the build plate.

Filament & Color Customization

While the original print looks great in classic tones, you can easily elevate the design by using prestige colors to match school traditions:

1. Background Base: Dark Navy Blue, Matte Black, or Deep Maroon.
2. Silhouette & Text (Books & Graduate): Silk Gold, Bronze, or Crisp White for maximum contrast.
3. The Star: Vibrant Ruby Red, Translucent Orange, or Neon Yellow to make the achievement pop.

Perfect Gift Idea

Scale it down to make a custom graduation bookmark, keep it standard size for a desk sign, or scale it up to create a beautiful wall plaque. It's an easy-to-print, high-impact design that every graduate will cherish!
