So how does one scale and keep detail....I'd like to scale this to pencil-topper size but by the time it gets there there's not a ton of detail when printed (ToM). I'm guessing a smaller layer size would help a little - but I'm thinking there must be some method to "exagerate" the detail.
Great design by the way!
A picture would help, but I would agree, smallest layer size would be your best bet. I did try scaling, put the model in Netfabb, scaled it to 25 mm tall, and then tried scaling it just in x/y. It sorta might work for you but it really quickly looks squished and weird, which for a Tiki isn't so bad.
yes, if you scale it down to pencil topper size,
the details would become much harder to see.
I would say remodeling is the only way.
a clever openscad script could be written
to exaggerate in the x/y but i am not up on openscad coding.
