Material
This model prints best using quality PLA lament, such as
Prusament, Taulman, ColorFabb, and Paramount. Other lament
brands that have also been successfully used include eSun,
HATCHBOX, SUNLU, and AmazonBasics.
PETG is also a viable material, though slightly more challenging.
The printed models shown here are printed in several colors of
PETG.
All model parts are assembled using small amounts of
cyanoacrylate (CA) glue or super-glue.
NOTE: If children will be involved, substitute a child-safe glue.
Print Settings
(Use these settings unless otherwise noted)
Recommended:
• 0.4 mm or smaller nozzle
• 3 perimeter layers
• 30% rectilinear or cubic inll
• Printed with supports
These settings should work on a wide variety of fused lament
printers (e.g. Creality, Prusa, Ultimaker).
The colorful model (shown at bottom on page 7) is printed at
50% model scale. Smaller prints will be especially challenging on
a fused lament printer due to feature size.
A 100% model scale gray model (shown at top on page 7) will t
within the print volume of a Prusa i3 MK3s, the printer used to
make the models shown here.
