It's time for this month's Exclusive vote release... the Gecko and Skeleton Gecko! I had some fun posing them in the garden and captured a shot with a REAL FLY!!! Take a look at the eye and no eyed skelly photo... right there on the nose hahaha.Also for this design, and especially the skeleton version, I highly recommend two walls. When testing I noticed some temp related anomalies. Printing with two walls consistently resulted in smoother prints. Note there is only a straight version of the original gecko due to the size and spacing of the links.
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:
I test between 50% and 150% for functionality. BUT... I do not suggest smaller than 60% for the skeleton version of this model. The links and footprint are tiny so detail will be lost and it could lead to failures. High quality materials and settings should be considered the smaller you go.
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 2 walls, 15% infill/gyroid, .12 or .16 layer height for quality.
Make sure you have good adhesion. I always use a glue stick
Gradient PLA works well with this model: I have a comprehensive list of Filament I use here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/flexifactory
