I want to share with you my balancing bird, working 100%!
Center of gravity works in different weight ratios. Part 1/2 low weight, parts 3/4 high weight.
The original bird modelled by Peter Behrens on http://archive3d.net/?a=download&id=58b6be71
My settings with CuraEngine
Nozzle 0.3
Filament 1.75
Layer Height 0.2
Top/Botton Thickness 0.4
Infill Overlap 15%
Suport Yes
Brim No
Raft No
Part 1 and Part 2
Sell Thickness 0.5mm
Infill Density 25%
Part 3 and Part 4

Part_5_Tree_Stand Print as you want!
Very important!
To save the balance, after slicing
each part1/2 needs filament without suport and skirt: 1815mm +-10mm
and each part3/4 needs 4315mm +-10mm, if not, you need to change some settings.
