These Pixel Pineapples are the first in my “Fruit Fidgets” collection 🍍🍉🍐🍊
They come in two sizes and print in two parts: the pineapple body and the pineapple crown. The pineapple body comes in a large and small size. There is only one size crown (it fits both sizes of the pineapples).
Dimensions of Small Pineapple (assembled): 3 ¾ in x 1 ¾ in x 1 ¼ in. Dimensions of Large Pineapple (assembled): 4 ¼ in. X 2 ¼ in. x 1 ½ in.
Basic PLA is the best for this print. I don’t usually make recommendations on types of PLA but I don’t recommend PLA Silk or PLA Matte filaments for this print. It is very detailed (on the inside) and the tolerances are small. I printed several of these in these three types of filaments and Basic PLA always printed the best and had smoother “movement” when done.
Here is an Amazon link to filaments I recommend: https://amzn.to/4djh0ee
-
Layer Height 0.2mm
-
Infill 10-15%
-
Supports needed under the ‘peg’ at the top of the pineapple body that the crown fits onto. (Be cautious not to include supports through-out the model. This will fuse it together.)
-
Outside brim recommended for the pineapple bodies
I have also attached a 3MF file with the following print profiles: Print Plate #1: Small Pineapple body (1 color, yellow), supports added for ‘peg’, outside brim Print Plate #2: Big Pineapple body (1 color, yellow), supports added for ‘peg’, outside brim Print Plate #3: Pineapple crown (1 color, green)
To assemble place the pineapple crown over the peg of the pineapple body. You can add some super glue if you'd like:)
Have fun printing!
