Adorable Flexi Firefly (Archived)

Hey Everyone! How's everyone doing?
Excited to share our latest design with you all - the Adorable Flexi Firefly! It's a print-in-place design that doesn't need any supports! The tail and wings are snap to fit with the Body.

Just like always, I've included pre-painted 3MF files for easy printing, and yep, there's also a stacked version for batch printing. Oh, and I threw in some pre-brims on the legs and tail to help them stick better to the bed. Remember to snip those off after printing!

By the way, for the glow tail, it's best to print it separately to save time during multicolor printing. And don't forget, it's not a good idea to run luminous filaments through the AMS unit - they can be a bit rough and might mess up the feeding funnel. So, print the glow part directly from the printer's back inlet.

And hey, if you notice the wings feeling a bit loose or tight, you can tweak them by adjusting the scale by about +-1%.

For optimal results, follow below settings:

Is there a chance to get the body without the pre-brims? I just made one, and the parts that come off are making the feet rough, or peel away completely. They aren’t coming off easily.

My thoughts exactly. It made post processing very time consuming.

What layer should it be paused to drop the magnets in? I just want to make sure I am doing it right. Thank you in advance.

You do not need to pause, snap the magnets from the bottom after the print.
