The wait is over for those who weren't around when the Big Smile Axolotl was first released as a Patreon Exclusive.  It is now the first file to be released from The Vault!I didn't like the idea of my Exclusive models coming out and never being available to new Patrons, so that's where The Vault comes in.  It gives first release benefits to current Patrons, yet new Patrons don't have to miss out completely.  In order to keep it fair to those first run Patrons, returning Exclusives won't be a free perk.  They will be available to purchase at a price similar to what Patrons pay for past public releases.  No 50% OFF coupon codes necessary.   *Once a design is Out of the Vault, they stay Out of the Vault!

**Direct Purchase Links for returning Exclusives are listed in the "The Vault" section of the pinned "Current Download Links" post.**Cheers,Matt

The big smile Axolotl purchase link is in the “the vault” section of the pinned “Current Download Links” post.

Need help! His body stops 8hrs in build says finished but top ain't done

That sounds like maybe a corrupted file or a corrupt SD Card. You can try redownloading the file, or maybe try another sd card? Does it look fine in the slicer preview?

Hey. Any chance you can tweak he custom support file. When I take off the supports from the tail I always pull off part of my bottom layer. It’s like it’s glued on for a brim.

matmire_makes

Hi! If you are using PrusaSlicer, BambuStudio, or another PS branch slicer. Setting -slice gap closing radius- to 0 should fix that. There is actually a small gap around the custom brims. The problem is if I make the gap big enough to not close in PS (if that setting is default), then that gap has been too big to be effective as a brim for many people. It's been a balancing act. If you are clearly seeing the gap in the slice preview and it is still fusing, that points toward first layer over-extrusion or the nozzle being too close to the bed. I'm always trying to improve these things, so let me know if that helps.

I am using Bambu Slicer. I’ll give that a try

John Jerde

Worked flawless. Setting the “slice gap closing radius” to 0. Thank you

Hi. I am attempting to print this on our Bambu. I'm using macaron by Ziro, and the body came out perfectly, but the head refuses to print correctly. The first 2 attempts, the inner ball joint continually turns to spaghetti and the rest of the head is perfect. My third attempt had the head literally split into layers and the ball joint started out fine for the first half then errored out with spaghetti and the other issues. Is there anything you can suggest? I've never had any issues with the Bambu this badly. Thanks!

Hi! Are you using the presupported head file? That’s recommended. Otherwise you will need to generate supports .

matmire_makes

I think I misread your comment. Can you email me pictures? It’ll be easier to troubleshoot that way. matmire.makes@gmail.com

Leigh Johnson

Woot, woot. Finally, is the only one I am missing and been getting requests for it. Thanks

I think this vault plan is a perfect compromise. Half of my gifts this year were some version of this (Magnets, full, head adapted to an ornament). I’m happy others members get to print it now

matmire_makes

Thanks for this! I struggled quite a bit to come up with a good system that felt balanced and fair for everyone.

Is this only going to be available through Cults? (Not MMF)

matmire_makes

Most likely. MMF does not have a private purchase listing option. I looked into it.

Tossican Itoku

I understand, I will purchase at Cults.. Thank you!

Ghoulie Cuties

I noticed that several of the models you posted are partially painted - I'd love to paint these too! Do you have a painting guide, or tips for which types of paints/primers to use?

Chelsea Passen

The website keeps declining my payment for this purchase. Is there another way to purchase it other than through cults? I have the other Axolotl print but would really love to have this one too. Thanks!

Melissa Hardy

I love this vault idea! I missed this guy at first and am so excited that I have the opportunity to get him now. My daughter loves axoltols so she has the regular one and the big smile magnet and has been bugging me about when I can print her a big smile friend for her current one. Thank you!
