This is a solid one or two color version of my hummingbird earrings. It has been modified so that it hangs at a better angle, more balanced.

If you download or collect this model, please “like” it. Thank you.

YouTube video showing how reactive this plastic is with a blacklight. They get brighter in sunlight too.

To print it using two colors, you will need to pause the printer after it prints the layer at 0.8mm. So if you're using a 0.2mm layer height, look for "; layer 5" in the gcode and insert the line:

M600

before "; layer 5". The M600 code is a "filament change pause". You will need to lookup the specifications for your printer to see if it is supported and how to do the change.

It can of course be printed as one color too without the pause. But you may prefer my open version here if printing one color. If you're printing two colors, make sure you're using the same type of plastic for both. If you are printing in translucent PLA, you can make it print more translucent by printing it hotter, around 230-240C.

The design was made for a 0.4mm nozzle or smaller. They are about 45mm from beak tip to tail tip. To make earrings, you might want to get a jewelry making kit like this one is a very good deal.

Jewelry Making Kit:

You can also buy in bulk sterling silver blank fish hook wire earrings like these.

It is very easy to make your own if you have an earring wire bender like this one.

I use this 20 gauge sterling silver jewelry wire to make your own.

You will want to get some nylon jawed pliers so you don't scratch or flatten your jewelry wire.
