You can print the pattern either whole or cut, I for convenience print it cut and glue the two halves together. I put a guide dowel that will be inserted between the two slots to help the alignment of the two parts, the sides of the dowel that are inserted into the slots are marked with a vertical notch. It is recommended to use the printing supports in both cases, the model has been cut appropriately to facilitate the printing of the blades on the mouth. The model is 50mm high.The dowel should be lightly sanded after which the two parts fit together perfectly without even the need for glue, the gap that remains I fill it with gel fixative, once dried should be sanded the area, will remain a uniform surface and you can make the various treatments before painting it.
