Description
Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia)
The Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia) enchants bird enthusiasts with its melodious and complex songs, which vary regionally across North America. These medium-sized sparrows, characterized by their streaked brown plumage and distinctive central breast spot, thrive in a variety of habitats, including marshes, fields, and gardens. Known for their adaptability and territorial nature, Song Sparrows often sing from exposed perches, filling the air with their cheerful tunes. Their songs and calls play crucial roles in communication and territory defense, making them a favorite among birdwatchers and animal behaviour researchers.
Our Song Sparrow 3D printable model captures the intricate details of this beloved bird, meticulously designed to reflect its natural beauty. This model comes in separate parts: the body and legs, allowing for detailed painting and easier printing. Whether you’re an educator, bird enthusiast, or model-painting hobbyist, this model offers a delightful way to explore and appreciate the charm of the Song Sparrow.
The 3D printable, digital files are in STL format. They’re scaled to life-size and ready for you to print and paint them. This Song Sparrow is about 15cm long from the tip of its beak to the tip of its tail, which is around average for this species (12-17cm)
The files are packaged in a .zip archive. This package includes files for the body and the left and right legs.
Our tested print settings: Resin
We successfully printed this model in grey resin on an LCD 3D printer using these settings:
- Layer height: 0.05mm
- Hollowed: True
- Wall thickness: 2mm
- Infill: 10%
- 3mm drainage holes in the leg slots of the body
We oriented the body so that the beak was angled upward and most of the support material was under the tail and towards the bird’s bottom.
Feel free to use these settings as a guide or use your own preferred settings. They’re just the settings that we used when printing.
Due to the nature of resin printing, you will have to determine your own exposure settings because they are different for every brand of resin and printer.
