Kura Curiosa — Specimen 002

SPECIMEN 002

Class: Botanical

The Archives record this specimen as one of many modular relics preserved in the Vaults of Arkhorin. Framed in a Vexel for stability, it can be joined with other modules to extend or reshape your archive.

***********************

• Size: 1-vexel

A challenging and unpredictable 3D printing model, Specimen 002 is designed to be printed without supports. Key settings such as nozzle speed, filament type, and fan speed significantly influence the final outcome. It is forcing branches to print mid-air for a unique, random foliage effect every time—perfect for those looking to toy with the limits of their printer and slicer settings.

• This module is divided into 3 files. Print the vexel first (Standard Color Scheme: black). Then print the main specimen in 2 colors (S.C.S.: black plate, white specimen) with a filament change. Then print the inlay (S.C.S.: blue). Glue the plate and the inlay into the vexel.

Kura Curiosa is an evolving archive of free-to-print modular art — a futuristic cabinet of curiosities built from specimens, cores (control units), sentries (guardian units), and blank panels (design units). Assemble, combine, and expand your own collection.

🛠 PRINTING TIPS

— You can 3D-print Kura curiosa in any material or color (you can also experiment with different top fill patterns), or follow the STANDARD COLOR SCHEME: black, white, blue

— Assembling: All Kura Curiosa modules use M3 x 8mm screws & M3 square nuts (5.5 x 5.5 x 2.6mm)

— Best to use a 0.4mm nozzle. (test tolerances with larger sizes)

— If you want to attach your collection to a wall, you can download Vexel hooks here: https://www.printables.com/model/1328129-kura-curiosa-vexel-hook
