Hey All!

Congrats to #TeamBunny.  You guessed right!  Haha.  Whether it's for Easter or the Year of the Rabbit... there's no time like the present for this little Bunny!

This design has been quite a challenge to figure out, and I'm excited to share it with you all.  It occurred to me that I could use the same techniques I developed in my pre-supports to make a model where one body part could pre-support another.  This somewhat frees it up from having to "lay" on the print bed, and opens the door for other fun design options.  Once printed, you just have to wiggle the joints to break the small contact points and free up the articulation (see video).  Oh... and this design in particular lent itself to a print-in-place head, so no snap-fit needed!   
Please watch this Video on the best way to free up the joints!

Happy Printing!
Matt

3D PRINTING SETTINGS

  • Print-In-Place.  No additional supports needed.  Several joints must be wiggled and "cracked" free in order to articulate them.  Be Extra careful with brittle filaments, like silks

  • Pre-supported version included for extra print stability (recommended).  Support is connected to the front legs that must be removed and discarded.

  • 15-20% Infill.

  • 3 Walls. <--This is very important!

Here is a quick video showing the best methods for "cracking" the joints free: Bunny Rabbit - Cracking the Joints: https://youtu.be/UYcgbHcd_y8

Some members of testing group successfully printed this model down to 50% scale, but YMMV.
