Hey All!

Here it is!  The biggest of the big cats... The Tiger!  This was such a fun one to sculpt.  The stripes were particularly challenging, but I'm really happy with how it turned out.  This one is fully print-in-place.  Please review the video posted below on the best methods for freeing up the joints.  I hope you like it!!

I'm also including a pre-painted .3mf file for all you multi-extruder and BambuLab users (See slicer image above)!  I'm not planning on doing 3mf files all the time because it adds a significant amount of time and management, but I was particularly driven to make one for this design. So, this is a bit of a test for me to see how this process goes.  In general, my preference is to make the models fairly easy to paint for multi-color, and allow you all to just get creative with it.  I have been thinking about making a MMU painting tutorial video, if that's something that interests people.

Happy Printing!
Matt

3D PRINTING SETTINGS

  • Print-In-Place.  Pre-supported.  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

  • 10-20% Infill.

  • 3 Walls if using a 0.4mm nozzle. <--This is very important!

  • .3mf File Included!  This file works in both PrusaSlicer and Bambu Studio.  It includes the painted model, but you must still edit the print settings to match your machine, filament, and the above recommendations.

Please watch this Video on the best way to free up the joints (demo'd on the Bunny model)!

Some members of testing group successfully printed this model down to 65% scale, but YMMV.
