Just because they're from another world doesn't mean they can't celebrate Earthly traditions!
Introducing a new Rejected Animal : Zørp-O'-Lantern.
Printing Guidelines
This amicable alien prints in several parts that are glued together for a clean and colorful result. It was designed to be printable without supports, although the body.stl part in particular can be quite tricky... I personally had to use PrusaSlicer's 'Organic Supports' to get a clean print. Brims can also be useful for print bed adhesion.
A small layer height will help capture all the details, but overall your standard print settings should work fine. Here's what I used:
- 0.08-0.12mm layer height
- 2-3 shells
- 10% infill
- 5 top/bottom layers
I also like using PrusaSlicer's Seam Painting feature to hide the seams along the back of the model.
I modeled this to be as small as possible while still being printable. Feel free to scale up as you please!
Assembly
I used E6000 adhesive to glue all the parts together, but cyanoacrylate works too if you prefer a quick-setting adhesive. The legs have a relatively loose fit so you can change the position to give Zørp your desired stance. You can also turn the head, and change the orientation of the stem.
Photographed model was printed using Polymaker PolyTerra Matte PLA (US direct), except for the eyes which are Fillamentum Luminous Yellow Extrafill PLA (20% off with MAKEANYTHING20 thru 2023), also available through MatterHackers.
