PRINTING ADVICE

Print the bookmark flat on the build plate.

Make sure the build plate is clean before printing, particularly around the delicate decorative sections.

Allow the print to cool before removing it.

Carefully lift the bookmark from the plate to avoid bending the thinner decorative sections.

PLA works particularly well for this design.

Sparkle or metallic-effect PLA can give the finished bookmark an attractive Christmas appearance.
