Hey Everyone! After gathering a bit of feedback and thinking about ways to make it better, I decided to revisit the Sloth's Tree display this weekend. Though I do like the look of the fully print-in-place tree, this new Print-And-Assemble version provides a LOT of benefits. I highly recommend using it instead! (I am still including the old v01 Tree in the download for those who may prefer it)

Benefits of this updated Print-And-Assemble Tree include:

Much more stable during printing. The branches are separated and print flat on the bed, so they won't wobble or break during printing.

The Branches are MUCH stronger when printed in this orientation due to the grain of the print layers moving along the length of the branches.

Easy to disassemble for transport or shipping. The Branches press fit into the Trunk, and hold pretty well without glue (You can certainly glue them in if you want a more permanent assembly).

Much Faster Multicolor Printing, with less purged waste. This version prints with the Trunk upright, so the plant sections do not occupy nearly as many layers. Woo! (it is still flat on the back, so you can rotate it to print the other direction in case you prefer filament gradients to transition in the back-to-front direction. You'll just lose the speed and waste benefits).

No longer need a "Shorter" version of the design in order to fit it on smaller printers (though small printers may require printing the Trunk and Branches separately).

*Go to the Pinned "the Hub - Info and Current Download Links" post to Re-Download the Sloth v02 update!Hope you like it!Matt

Thank matt - I was literally about to print it.. you’re awesome

Question: I have been printing for awhile, but some designs (such as the polar bear and lighter colors for the sloth) print with a 'striping' in the lighter colors of the model when the blacks of the eyes print. I have tried using purge items to alleviate this, to no avail. What am I missing?

Kev Martin

For lighter colour filaments, especially for colour changes between light and dark colours, you may need to increase the purge amount setting. The exact amount needed varies depending on the filament(s). Also be sure to use the tower.

So I printed the sloth at 70% which is a usual size for matmire makes models but the arms came out super wonky. Do I need to size up? Wondering if anyone had any issues with this size or smaller, thanks.

I knew I should have waited started a tree yesterday and willl be done when I get up soon

Rod E Bryant

I started mine an hour ago and just read this lol.

braxton bernstein

Ughh yeah mine was like 15h total and have like 5h left now

Shelly Thomas

Wonky how? I printed it at 80% and it all came out fine

Mike

The arms didn't really want to move right, but I did have a partial clog that I removed before I printed it. I also thought maybe the filament could have had moisture.

Rachel Kemp

Thanks for this update, the original printed failed for me when one branch broke off mid print

Caroline Knueppel

Thank you! Is there any way to mod the feet of the bat models or tail of the opposum so they can hang from the tree too?

braxton bernstein

And with a hour and a half left it popped off the bed lol rip

The file in the hub post doesn't seem to be updated? The folder inside the ZIP is called "MMM_Sloth_v01" (not 2) and the files last modified date was 4 days ago.

matmire_makes

That's odd. It's definitely updated, and is downloading as v02 for me. It might be a browser cache issue, somehow. Do you have another web browser you could use to try downloading the link, or maybe a private/incognito browser window?

matmire_makes

There's not really a place to do that on Patreon. We do have a photos channel in the Discord server to post print pics. I'll also have the file up on Cults3D at the end of the week, and you could post a make there if you like.

Taylor

I tried private, that seems to have worked, very strange :/

Mike

I figured out the issue! There was some excess plastic in the joints which I was able to remove. They were so tiny!

Mark Holden

Thank you so much for giving me a direction to try!

Laura

Buenos días! Desde Argentina

Kimberly S Tritt

Where can I find the code for the 50% off to get the tree? Thank you. I have the sloth on the printer now.

matmire_makes

The 50% OFF code is listed in “Past Public Releases” the Hub info post (there’s a link to that post above). The Tree comes as part of the regular Sloth release. I assume you’re printing the MMMini Sloth?
