For larger build plates, above 320x320x320 Standing at 36" or 91cm tall and printing in separate parts its the mush have model this holiday season. 🎄 XL Grinch Assembly Instructions This guide is for assembling The XL Grinch 3D model, designed for large build plates (above 320x320x320mm). The assembled model stands approximately 36 inches (91 cm) tall and prints in multiple separate parts. ⚠️ Important Notes Before Starting Glue Required: While most parts are stable, glue is necessary for elements that fight gravity, such as the left arm and hat tail, to ensure stability. Dry Build: It is highly recommended to perform a test dry build first. Assemble the parts without glue to ensure everything fits and you understand the placement of all components. Connectors: The model uses 6 different types of connectors. Spares of the main connectors are included. Organisation: The arms are split into two sections each. Organise your parts (especially the arm components) before starting to make the assembly easier. The head is the most supported object. because of the texture on the model the supports have little impact on the finish. the only part that may have a potential issue is just under the chin. but both my prints the supports came away super easy with setting the top z to 0.275. one final point. in the 3 mf i have set the infill individually on various parts depending on the size. so smaller parts have more infill and larger less, down to 5% Step-by-Step Assembly Guide Follow the sequence below, generally working from the ground up: Step Component(s) Connector(s) Needed Notes 1. Base 4 Connectors Insert the 4 connectors into the base. 2. Boots Long Connectors Insert the long connectors through the boots and into the legs. (This improves stability over the original separate connectors). 3. Boot Cuffs connectors None Slide the boot cuffs onto the leg long connectors. 4. Legs 4 Connectors Slide the legs into place and secure them. 5. Bottom Jacket Fluff 4 Connectors Attach the bottom jacket fluff above the legs. 6. Belt 4 Connectors Attach the belt piece. 7. Main Body 4 connectors Attach the main body section. 8. Neck Fluff & Neck 2 connectors Attach the neck fluff, then slide the neck down and secure it with the single connector. 9.

Assembly Instructions for XL Max and Not So XL Max Welcome to the assembly instructions for XL Max and Not So XL Max. If you have printed the XL Grinch, you will need XL Max for correct scaling.If you have printed the Not So XL Grinch, you should use Not So XL Max. The difference between the two Max models is the connector tolerances.Max is not as large as the other XL models; however, he has been scaled specifically to match the Grinch correctly. As with other XL models, Max assembles using connectors. There are only two connector sizes.The model does require glue, but a dry fit is highly recommended first, as the model will hold together without glue during test assembly. Large internal cavities have been included to reduce filament usage. Some supports are required, but they are minimal. There are a few small parts, so please ensure you have good bed adhesion and a clean build plate before starting. Filaments Used Bambu Basic Brown Maroon Red Silver White Black Assembly Instructions Body The body prints in one piece. Insert the first large connector into the back of the body to attach the tail.
