Get ready for the intergalactic ride of your life! Presenting the Bumper Saucer: a brand new entertainment ride available at your local amusement park!
Branching out from my previous vehicle designs, I've taken a basic amusement park ride and turned it into an moving extraterrestrial toy. This is my first attempt at creating a mobile toy combined with cartoon design, so please let me know how it works out for all of you.
IMPORTANT:
If the ball wheels aren't fitting in properly, i.e. too loose, I recommend increasing the scale by 1% increments in your slicer (I apologize in advance if that's the case). Test them by placing onto the "Bottom Cap" first to see if they fall through BEFORE assembling.
If there are any problems with the model, please let me know. Constructive criticism is always welcomed.

Notes:
FDM tested, not SLA (it is designed to be a toy). Resin print at your own discretion.
Please ignore any "not watertight" warnings. All parts print fine.
There are two file versions for the torso and head, each present different ways of printing and quality. I've done this because I found "Opt.B" easier to remove supports from, but "Opt.A" preserves the best detail (the horn must be glue on).
The figure contains small parts, so be careful removing supports. I recommend printing the figure with an infill 15-25%.
The figure should be glued together with the pegs, as well as the ball wheels.
(Optional) I recommend printing "Opt.B_Torso and Head_Figure" file upright for the best detail.
