Felix Felicis Potion

I did this inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2520535 but wanting a better quality model.

The vessel is hollow so it can be filled with liquid (but i did not try it).

Warning: high resolution nozzle and layer height required (see print settings)

All pieces have the same origin so they can be printed in one piece or with a multimaterial printer.

2020/06/21 Added full vessel stl for resin printers. Changed license.

Print instructions

SLA

The print in the photo was sliced with PrusaSlicer 2.2.0 (0.05 resolution with Elegoo Translucent resin). The plug was reused from the FDM version. Be careful when attaching it, resin is brittle and can crack if you press it to much.

Post-printing:

• Remove supports.
• Paint the plaque and neck decorations.

FDM

The print in the sample images was sliced with Cura 3.2.1:

• Vessel:
  • ColorFabb nGEN Clear
  • 0.4mm nozzle
  • 0.1mm layer height
  • Top/bottom pattern: concentric
  • Print thin walls
  • Enable ironing
  • Generate support
• Plaque & Neck: (very high resolution needed or you won't get the details)
  • Prusa PLA Silver
  • 0.25mm nozzle
  • 0.06mm layer height
  • Disable filter out tiny gaps
  • Print thin walls
  • Generate support
  • Support placement: touching build plate
  • Support horizontal expansion: 1mm
  • Build plate adhesion type: raft
  • Raft extra margin: 5mm
• Plug:
  • ColorFabb nGEN Flex Medium Brown
  • 0.4mm nozzle
  • 0.2mm layer height
  • Top/bottom pattern: concentric
  • Infill density: 50%
  • Infill pattern: cubic

The plug turned out a bit rigid (probably too much infill) and a bit distorted (maybe a temperature or speed problem) but it can be plugged in.

Post-printing

• Use white paint with dry brush technique to paint the top of the plaque and neck decorations.
• Remove supports, with special care on the plaque and neck (very fragile).
• Glue the vessel.
• Glue the plaque in the vessel front.
• Glue the neck around the vessel neck.
• Punch the plug in.
