Early Release: Flexi Factory Chicken

Added 2024-10-17 18:25:30 +0000 UTC

Thank you everyone for your patience while I finished up testing. Especially with pop-in features, I like to make sure everything fits correctly :)

I have received hundreds of requests for a chicken, and wanted to take the opportunity to make improvements to the wings. Watching my wife hilariously trying to impersonate a chicken running around with little tucked wings was um, ... helpful!?!

For you AMS printers you will find a head with bigger pupils. I felt these eyes worked better for multicolor. Smaller pupil for single color.

Happy Printing -Dan

Print tips and Info:

I test between 50% and 150% for functionality. BUT... I do not suggest smaller than 65% for this model. The links and footprint are tiny so detail will be lost and it could lead to failures. High quality materials and settings should be considered the smaller you go. The wings could be especially fragile.
STL and 3MF files are included. * If you use the 3mf file, please remember that it is a painted project file for your convenience. You must check your material/printer/settings to make sure it works correctly for your printing project.
I print with 3 walls, 15% infill/gyroid, .12 or .16 layer height for quality.
Make sure you have good adhesion. I always use a glue stick.
Gradient PLA works well with this model: I have a comprehensive list of Filament I use here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/flexifactory *As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases
