Just because they're from another world doesn't mean they can't celebrate Earthly traditions!
Introducing a new Rejected Animal : The Zørp-O'-Lantern. The full body model is available for Thangs Members here.
Printing Guidelines
This amicable alien prints in several parts that are glued together for a clean and colorful result. All parts print without supports, though brims can also be useful for print bed adhesion.
A small layer height will help capture all the details, but overall your standard print settings should work fine. Here's what I used:
- 0.08-0.12mm layer height
- 2-3 shells
- 10% infill
- 5 top/bottom layers
I also like using PrusaSlicer's Seam Painting feature to hide the seams along the back of the model.
I modeled this to be as small as possible while still being printable. Feel free to scale up as you please!
Assembly
I used E6000 adhesive to glue all the parts together, but cyanoacrylate works too if you prefer a quick-setting adhesive.
Photographed model was printed using Polymaker PolyTerra Matte PLA (US direct), except for the eyes which are Fillamentum Luminous Yellow Extrafill PLA (20% off with MAKEANYTHING20 thru 2023), also available through MatterHackers.
