3D PRINTING SETTINGS

Body: Print-In-Place.  No Supports (Aside from a Brim)

Head: Snap-Fit to Body.  Requires Support "Touching Buildplate". (I like "Tree" supports)

Good bed adhesion is a must! I highly suggest using a BRIM or RAFT to make sure the tail stays upright as the segments build.

New:- Body with custom Brim (Print-in-Place, Brim geo is built in so no need to generate one.)- Head with custom Brim (Easily Snap-Fit to Body, Requires Supports)

15-20% Infill.

3 Walls.

For a demonstration of how I use Cura's support blockers to print the Head and Body at the same time, please check out this video. It's super easy!https://tinyurl.com/mr3zkyueHere is a quick video showing the easiest method for snap-fitting the head onto the body: https://youtu.be/DWsYu2BY7ow

Scale to your liking!  100% creates a 10" Axolotl, so that will make it easy to scale it to your desired size. (80% = 8",  75% = 7.5", etc.)  Depending on your printer tolerances, you should be able to print close to 60-65% before the joint function may start to become compromised. YMMV

Updated slicer and now I'm having paint issues. Any thoughts on this?

Flexi factory uses the same method and it works great for me. Easy to find.

Great! I’ll stick with this for now. Also, woooo! You’re my first Patron! Haha

Keep making designs like this and you will be swimming in them.

Cinderwing does the same. Also has a website for past months, hex3d does something similar. Definitely heading in the right direction!

I was thinking about it. I'll look into that today. Thanks!

matmire_makes

Can you give any more specifics? Are you using the new v09R with the pre-supported tail?

matmire_makes

You can go redownload it, and that will give you v09. It should help with Tail issues.

That's great to hear! BTW, our Discord group is a great way to get help troubleshooting print issues quickly, in case I'm not available. I encourage everyone to join. It is up to you, of course! I hope that update takes care of it for you.

I bought this last night and just printed this today. I love this so much!
