Decorative Insects
Status: Digitally validated for representative 3D output.
The editable generator is decorative-insects.scad. FDM reliefs and flat models; the generator also supports laser, vinyl, and engraving output.
Defaults and important controls
Free-form butterfly relief at approximately 100 mm wingspan and 52 mm body length.

Printing and fabrication
Print flat or relief models with the broad rear face on the bed.
The included STL files passed digital mesh and slicer checks. Digital validation does not establish physical fit, strength, fatigue life, or material suitability.
Known limitations
- Fine veins and stencil bridges require process-specific testing.
- The included public package contains STL examples only.
