Not So.. XL April showers Goose, for smaller build plates, below 300x300x300

XL and Not So.. XL April Showers Goose: Assembly Guide Models: XL (60cm / 24”) & Not So XL (46cm / 18”) Congratulations on starting your April Showers Goose! While both sizes share the same design, the connectors are custom-tuned for their respective scales to ensure a perfect fit right off the build plate. Assembly Essentials

• Dry Fit First: Always perform a "dry build" without glue to ensure you understand part alignment before making it permanent.
• Perspective: When I refer to "Left" and "Right," imagine you are the goose looking forward!
• Material Choice: * Indoor: PLA is great.
  • Outdoor: Use PETG.
  • High Heat: If you live in a very hot climate, consider ASA or ABS to prevent warping.
• Scaling: If you scale the model down further, you may need to reduce the connector size by an additional 1–2%. Recommended Filaments
• Raincoat, Boots & Hat: Turquoise & Sunflower Yellow
• Body & Head: White
• Beak : Pumpkin Orange
• Eyes: Black
• Base: Transparent Blue (PLA for Not So XL / PETG for XL) Printing Tip: For the 3mf files, supports are pre-enabled. Set your Top Z distance to 0.275mm for the easiest support removal. Step-by-Step Build

1. The Base: Slide the two specialised Base-to-Boot connectors into the water base, then attach the Boots.
2. Boot Tops: Insert two standard connectors into the top of each boot, then slide on the Boot Tops.
3. Lower Body: Place the Lower Body onto the boots. Insert 5 connectors into the top of this section.
4. The Jacket: Slide the Yellow & Turquoise Jacket onto the lower body. Insert 2 connectors into the top of the jacket.
5. Head & Face: * Mount the Head onto the jacket.
   • Press the Beak onto its connector (it’s a snug fit!).
   • Insert the Eyes into the sockets on either side.
   • Secure the Hat using its built-in connector.
6. The Arms: Insert 2 connectors into each arm and slide them into the jacket sleeves.
7. Final Touches: Glue the 3 Buttons directly onto the front of the jacket. These do not use connectors. Congratulations! Your April Showers Goose is ready to face the rain.
