SPECIMEN 004

 

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: 2-vexel

• This module is divided into 4 files. Print the vexel first (Standard Color Scheme: black). Then print the main specimens in 2 colors (S.C.S.: black plate, white specimen) with a filament change. Finally, print the inlay (S.C.S.: blue) x2, and glue them into the vexel.


• If you have a multicolor printer, you can use the .3mf file.

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

 

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
