Included in Monthly Downloads for April Patrons Here: DOWNLOADS..........................................................................................Hi Folks,

In keeping with the ocean vibe, this month's early release is the OS (Old School) Diver!!! I thought the barracuda could use a little "company" 😁

I am really excited to add to my standing figures with this mostly print-in-place design. To give it the full 360 look, I have added a pop-on tank. And you get two versions of the diving helmet... one with a pop-in closing mask, and one without. Since the nature of silks can be fragile and this model really shines in silk, consider using the open mask for smaller prints. Happy Printing -Dan*Please consider tagging @flexifactory/ #flexifactory in your social posts so I can see your amazing prints! AND make sure to share in the private Flexi Factory discord :) Members can join through the settings/apps tab or direct link in pinned post.

Print tips and Info:

STL and 3MF files are included. * If you use the 3mf file, please remember that it is a painted project file for your convenience. You must check your material/printer/settings to make sure it works correctly for your printing project.

I print with .12 or .16 layer height for quality.

As usual, make sure you have good adhesion. A glue stick works or I have switched to using on all my machines... a BIQU Cryopgrip Frostbite adhesion plate.

I successfully test printed between 50% and 125% for this design. I do not suggest smaller or it could break and not function.

The mask cover is made to be lose so the silk does not break when popping in. It secures with the latch.

Since this is created in pieces, just size the parts identically to fit your plate and pop them together!

Gradient PLA works GREAT with this model: I have a comprehensive list of Filament I use here: Amazon List

It is just that the samurai wears a mask :( I thought about it but that is kind of a major feature. Maybe a partial mask.

Kat Weeks

The barracuda has been a big hit for us. It's been so fun to play with the color combos. Cant wait to get this on the printer

Debra Jarskey

Thank You! I have had to make a daddy, mom and 4 babies already for my grandson. I am now making the diver to go with it. Please keep going with the underwater theme.

Mark Madrid

The diver is brilliant. Would love to see the astronaut redone standing, I've always loved that one!!

Mike

Absolutely love this! I would love to see a hammerhead shark skeleton though 🦈

Paul G

The astronaut is a favorite of mine too because lifting the broken visor reveals the skeleton, so cool!

Erica Riesner
