Sorry, the print files are much too huge. My little home system tells me it takes 3 1/2 days to print - and I'm speaking of the low solution file here. The high solution file wouldn't even load in TinkerCAD.
The optics are lovely.

@Wilko Thank you for your friendly and detailed answer. You have summarised a lot of good advice how to speed up printing, true in general, not just for this model.
My comment mainly aimed to explain to you why you'll have fewer makes with this model than its beautiful design deserves.
It seems, mentioning TinkerCAD irritated. Here I used it simply as a "browser" or "viewer" for new models. It's very fast and shows more construction details than normal viewers. It's the first time for me that TinkerCAD refused to load a file. I had not even known there was a limit.
I've never used Fusion360, but I'll check it out. Thank you for the hint. I'll see if it suits me more than TinkerCAD or Blender (both also free software).
I'm using a Creality Ender 3. I guess there are faster printers out there, but it's ok for home brewing.
@Midassi_959965 Oh, I'm not worried about the makes and downloads. There are really many reasons why it is like it is and the print time is for sure one. Perhaps I make a vase mode variation (if possible) but this will compromise the look for sure. Other reasons for example are for example how Printables pushes models and / or designers, if it was part of a contest etc. But I'm happy with the way it is and I realy love to hear that you like it. Thank you for that.
For a quick view the Windows 10 / 11 (???) 3d View might be useful. It has no problems to process the ultra version and is reasonable fast.
Just out of curiosity I did a quick test slice for the Ender 3 in PrusaSlicer (they have a profile for it) and with a 0.6mm nozzle, 0.28mm layer height and 5% infill from 10mm to 140mm and 15% for the rest (all Gyroid) it shrinks the calculated print time down to 1d6h30m. With a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.20mm layer height it's 2d4h So a very capable machine.
@Mihai_1709229 Oh wow. Great print. Thank you so much for sharing your make and for your overwhelming rating.
My GF wanted one... So.. there she goes.
Printed with PLA Premium in about 2:03h.
Beside 2 Strings... No stringing.
@HJH_928711 That's a clean print. Love it. Thank you for sharing your make and for the overwhelming rating.
Printed on a Bambu X1C with standard settings for 0.4mm nozzle and .2 layer height in Overture Two Collor Silk PLA
@Rob_877760 That's a sweet color. Thank you for sharing your make.
Looks Amazing, on the printer now!
@PatrickF_793242 Thank you so much. And... Go, go go 😂🤣

@PavelMBlaha Crazy colors. Love it. Thank you for sharing your wonderful make and for the overwhelming rating.
@Wilko more to come! Picked your model as a kind of "stress test" of my MMU3 :-D
Thanks for sharing your design! It's a perfect fit for my fern and looks so stunning on my desk!
@_FirstLayer What y clean print. So good. And you're right. It's a prefect match. Thank you for sharing your wonderful make and for the overwhelming rating.
Nice model, love the design. Only possible improvement is to make the connections a bit more foolproof. Right now you have to really hold all parts correctly when glueing. Maybe with a slightly different connection shape, it could be always in the perfect orientation?
@ValtaStudio_134975 Love your print. Glitter makes everything better, right? Thank you for your feedback. I'll think about a better shape for the connectors. Perhaps slightly wider?
Thank you for sharing your make and for the overwhelming rating.
@MartinP I love this so much. And you could print the antlers scaled down? That's crazy. Thank you so much sharing your make and for the overwhelming rating .
My wife and I love your penguins and snowmen. ❤
The printing finished just in time before christmas.
It is so beautyful and and makes our home more beautyful.
Thank you for your great design work. 🙏 (edited)
@HolgerAveres Thank you so much. You make me blush. Biggest approval I can get is if the wife loves it 😂. Your print looks really perfect. I like the colors.
Thank you for sharing the make and for the overwhelming rating.
Santa in Summer!
Printed using 0.6mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height, a variety of different PLA filaments. Yet another clean and easy print.
It feels weird to be printing out a Santa on one of the hottest days of the year so far, but we love penguins all year round, so why not!
Thanks for the model!
@IvyMike That's a great print, and you've printed all the parts. That's wonderful. Weather here is more very strange (lots of rain, only 2 hot days), but I'm also super surprised that you're going for my winter themed things. But hey - I love it.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful makes and for the overwhelming rating.
Very nice model. Again printed joins with 104% size in XY plane not to have to glue it. At the end I had to glue only bobble.
@JakubGrochol_1377693 Thank you so much for sharing your makes. Love them. Jip - all models do have the same clearances for the parts and the bobble is tricky in any case. Great colors, clean print - Love it. Thank you for sharing your make and for the overwhelming rating.
Santa hat is so cute! Used organic supports for the arch.
Printed in a variety of Prusament PLA on 0.2 STRUCTURAL input shaping profile.
@grantman240z_875591 Well done! That's a perfect print and you really mastered it. Love it. Thank you for sharing your makes and for the overwhelming rating.
