• Shouldn't require post-processing, although check for any sharp bits that arise from print irregularities.

This one should be a pretty simple print, but for better spinning momentum, load “starwandinfill.stl" as a modifier on the “starwandfinal.stl” object and set it to 70+% infill. If you use more infill on the rest of the object, then increase this infill as well. (To do this in PrusaSlicer, right click the object name in the object list > Add modifier > Load, and select starwindinfill.stl. Then right click that and select 'infill' to modify the infill settings.) The star spins better if it has more mass further away from the spinning axis! Your slice will look something like this:

Basic printing recommendations:

• 15-20% cubic infill on the main object, 70+% cubic infill on the modifier for the sides of the inner star (starwandinfill.stl).

• 3 perimeters

• 0.4mm line width, 0.2mm layer height

• No supports
