Sculpture
Two solid objects with nothing to hold and nothing to do. These are the longest prints in the catalog — 22 and 26 hours on the bed — and the only care either needs is dusting.
Choosing between them
The Bonsai Sculpture is the more literal piece: a miniature canopy in plant-based PLA, and the most demanding thing we print, because each layer of foliage is supported only by the layer beneath it. At about 26 hours it is the longest print and the highest price in the catalog. It works where a real plant would not survive — a windowless room, a desk under air conditioning.
The Wave Sculpture is the more abstract one, and the piece where the process and the subject agree: a wave is lines of water arriving one after another, and a print is lines of material arriving one after another, so the layer lines read as tide marks. It is solid enough to have real weight, and it has a front and a back — turn it until the crest catches the light.
Both are dust-and-forget objects. Neither wants direct afternoon sun, because sustained ultraviolet light slowly embrittles PLA over years.
Worth knowing
- No watering, feeding or repotting — dust with a soft dry brush
- Keep out of parked cars; PLA softens above roughly 55°C
- Prefer indirect light over a sun-facing windowsill
