Thank you all for the suggestions of making the mouth open. While it does make the design mostly print-in-place... it really creates lots of opportunities to mix and match colors and get creative with the prints.
As before, I have optimized it for AMS and provided the 3MF files for both Bambu and Prusa Slicers. I ...

By request, and a great idea.
These are 2 part spinners that you simply pop together so you can print them in multiple colors.
Happy Printing

St Patrick's Day is right around the corner, and I thought arming yourself with clovers and horseshoes may bring some luck...why not! 🤣
I couldn't decide on one design, so I made 4.
3 spinners, and one 3 leaf shamrock.

No huge changes.
I gave the visor a slightly larger footprint touching the bed to minimize failures especially on smaller prints. I also tweaked the eyes one last time. First they were too big, then they were too small, now they are juuust right.
Thanks Again

Hey Guys and Gals,
Made a few updates to the knight.
*Better eyes. (reduced the size of the retina and pupil and added a shine) He looks less strung out now. 😁

I also made the changes to...

Let the games begin!
I had to make some last minute changes to the helmet to make sure it was strong when you reduce the size. I even went bac...
Hey there,
For those of you who have dual extrusion printers. Are you able to use Prusa slicer for model coloring for non-Prusa machines, without the need for multiple stl's?

I usually send out a few teasers before the Patreon public release, but I have been working "knight" and day on this guy, hahahaha.

Printed a bunch of the guys at 50% for my son's class. On the Bambu, 3 colors, .16 layer height, 15% infill. Took about an hour per heart (15 on the plate).
They stand well and printed beautifully!

Y'all...thanks to some garbage pla and a fan going out, this character took forever to print! After two failed attempts at about 90%, he finally made it through.
And if anyone wants to share their secretes of how to get Bambu to send out replacements for defective parts, I am all ears haha.

So...the multicolored version is taking a bit longer to print than anticipated, thanks to some garbage filament. But I have beefed up the joints and it has been thoroughly test printed :)
Can't wait to see the color combinations you guys come up with. Hope you like it too! I will update the pho...

There has been some chat about not loving the recent stamped FF branding on the models. In the past a couple of people said they wanted it, but recently some are saying to ditch it.
I started doing it because there seems to be a lot of copycats lately, and I wanted to distinguish my models as authentic Fle...
Okay, I made several updates to this guy based on all of your suggestions.

Yep! This roo's got an insertable Joey.
I've been simmering on the idea of making a kangaroo for a while now, but just recently I came across an image of a kangaroo with a joey and thought "I can do that!...and it'll be hilarious!" 😁
I plan on having it to you this Thursday.
