Thanks for checking out the initial release! The model is usable at this point, but there's some improvements that could be made. I've noted them below. Assembly is close to the same as a standard Mini 13 kit, some pieces like the ears and eyes are just press fit into place. If the parts come out on the looser side and you don't want to glue it, a tiny bit of blue tac works well to add a bit of grip.

**Printing Recommendations**
First you'll need [a frame from the original Mini 13](https://www.printables.com/model/422353-mini-13-printable-jointed-figure)

Although this isn't as nice of a model as the original Mini 13, you'll want to use those settings as a starting point:


These are the settings I use for best results (at 100% scale and with a 0.4mm nozzle)

Layer height 0.15mm (first layer 0.2mm)
3 perimeters
30% rectilinear infill
Slow down the first layer print speed (30% of default)
0.25mm elephant foot compensation
Print external perimeters first
No brim or support material

However, some parts from this kit, like the leg armor, might need a brim. Several parts will require support material. The ears, top straps, and elbow knives are FRAGILE so be careful when you remove them from the bed and post process them. I've supplied some of the 3mf files I used to print out the prototype. That should get you most of the way there.

**v1.0 Notes**
Here's a list of things that could be better for myself or someone else who feels ambitious.

 The current top straps suck. They're too small for a pin connection and it feels like it would go against the spirit of Mini 13 to trap the frame with glue. Maybe some sort of neck mount like the hips?
The Bow is a bit too big. Maybe tighten the angle of the pieces or just scale it down.
The belt doesn't attach too well. Could have been extended down like the original but just paint it black instead.
When I get my hands on an MMU, adapt this for multicolor printing.
Arctic skin remix?

Huntress is a character from Hopoo Games' excellent Risk of Rain series. Some meshes from the game have been adapted for Mini 13.

Mini 13 Huntress (Risk of Rain)

So, I scavenged a display out of a dead laptop and found a working driver board on ebay. While the display works great, it's a bit difficult to use when it's just a raw panel with a couple boards glued to it, so I modeled a replacement frame so that I could VESA mount it with the rest of my monitors. I've modeled the whole thing in OnShape and split it into a couple pieces to make it printable on a standard sized bed.

**UNLESS YOU HAVE THE EXACT SAME MONITOR, DRIVER BOARD, HEAT SETS, AND MOUNTING COMBO, THE STL FILES PROVIDED WILL NOT  WORK FOR YOU. USE THE LINKED ONSHAPE DOCUMENT TO FORK AND CREATE YOUR OWN, USING YOUR OWN MEASUREMENTS**

A frame for a 17" laptop panel only used about 600g of plastic, and it's pretty solidly attached.

The frame is designed to use pins to join frame segments, and heat set inserts to attach the VESA block that locks everything in. You shouldn't need any glue for the pins, as the VESA block will lock the panels together.

I printed the frame on the bottom and top sides, as shown in the frame.3mf file. I added cheater disks to the non-rounded edge, but I still had a bit of warping on both ends of the print. You may want to use a brim or really stick it into the bed.

The file is mostly parametric, but you'll want to futz with the driver board and control board mounting.
