OLEANDER HAWK-MOTH SUNCATCHER - STAINED-GLASS

The Oleander Hawk-Moth is one of the most elegantly camouflaged insects in the world — and in stained glass, that camouflage becomes art. A sweeping palette of teal, sage green, chartreuse, silver, and warm taupe fills broad sculpted wings against deep black leading, the segmented abdomen detailed with teal and yellow-green banding. At 2mm in translucent PETG, the cool green tones glow with an almost bioluminescent quality in backlight — unlike anything else in the collection.

CRITICAL SLICER SETTINGS

These three settings are required for clean panel separation and accurate hole geometry:

Slice gap closing radius: 0.5mm (Quality > Precision) X-Y hole compensation: -0.25mm (Quality > Precision) Wall generator: Arachne (Quality > Wall Generator) COLOR COUNT: This design uses multiple distinct color zones across all four wing panels and abdomen — a CFS multi-filament system is strongly recommended for best results.

COLOR GUIDE

Colors and filament zone assignments are fully embedded in the 3mf file. Open in your slicer to see exact color assignments. Swap any zone to your preferred palette.

DIMENSIONS

Width: ~150mm Thickness: 2mm Scaling: Uniform scale freely — or lock Z to 2mm when scaling up for maximum translucent panel glow

TIPS AND TRICKS

Best display: morning east-facing light makes the cool teal and chartreuse panels glow with an almost bioluminescent quality — this one earns a prominent window spot Translucent upgrade: the all-green palette is unusually cohesive in translucent PETG — teal and chartreuse side by side in backlight reads like sea glass Scaling for translucency: when scaling up, uncheck uniform scale and manually set Z to 2mm to preserve panel translucency Outdoor use: PETG is the better choice for covered porch or sunroom windows — UV and moisture resistant Pair it: the cool green palette is a natural contrast companion to the warm amber tones of the AGW Cecropia Moth for a striking side-by-side moth display TAGS
