- Carefully slide Hands into Body.
- Add remaining pieces of Oil Can β I recommend gluing these pieces.
Some of the accessory pieces will have tight fits to hold parts together without glue. If you have issues with fit, please feel free to reach out to me and I will be happy to assist you. If your machine does not have very precise or accurate tolerances, you may want to scale the models up or adjust your precision settings. Scaling down model will not work as the tolerances will likely be too small for the pieces to fit.
For most accessories for this gnome, you will be required to remove a hand or hands to place the accessory. Glue is not needed for most of the parts of these models. We do recommend it when you want permanent adhesion of for certain small parts*.
Print tolerances vary by printer. The settings used in this print were in Bambu Studio, and printed on a Bambu X1C using a 0.4 nozzle printed at 0.20mm layer height Standard print quality settings. Filament used was PLA and PLA+. Plate used was Bambu Textured PEI Plate.
Adding variable height, ironing or smaller layer heights will decrease the visibility of any lines even more than what is shown in the photos.
