Test Print - The Updated Wolf!
So I went ahead tonight and printed my updated wolf after getting some complaints on it being a tough print. It printed fine but there were some observations I feel worth mentioning.
The trick was to print it slow at 30mm. Everything 30mm, including the travel speed. The supports were at 10% and were in line format, with no roof or floor. The infill was at 20% and I used a raft.
So it def can be done. My apologies for this being a tough one, but slow printing does make the difference. Just felt like sharing :-)

will have to test one or more of these settings at some point.
Why do you use a raft at all, I have never on my Prusa. You should try to use the new prusa profiles from slic3r the 0.07 mm ultra detail profile works amazingly well
I like rafts since it ensures the print doesn't rip off the plate. Probably not necessary for something as small as this though.
My advice is, if you are printing on a FDM, tilt it back 45 degrees. It then requires much less supports and the legs become a bit stronger as the layers aren’t horizontally across the body which makes them slightly more resistant to just snapping at ankles as easily
You know that's something I do in resin, but I never considered in FDM. That's an interesting trick and I'll give it a shot :-)
