NEW DESIGN: Pallas's Cat or Manul (#99)
The next realistic flexi cat is the Pallas's Cat, or Manul (#99).
The wild cat comes with one Standard head.
Attachment type: SNAP.
The STL archive includes a pre-painted .3mf file (Bambu Studio).
It contains two versions of the head colors: with orange eyes and with blue eyes.
Here are the recommendations for printing them:
Print the heads as shown in our examples if you have 4 filament slots available (1 AMS). In our case, we printed on a Bambu Lab A1 with 1 AMS Lite.
1) Head with orange eyes.
To print the nose in pink, you need to swap the orange filament for pink. The head is colored so that these colors don't overlap, but you need to change the filament quickly. We recommend setting a pause in the slicer on the layer where the pink color starts.
We assigned both Basic Orange and Matte Rose Pink filaments to a single slot (Slot 4). The correct profile is used during printing (we didn't know this was possible before, and we think this might be interesting info for some of you).
2) Head with blue (or any other) eyes.
If you print the head together with the body, there will be 2 filament swaps (if printing only the head, just one). We printed the head with the body and assigned Basic Orange, Matte Sky Blue, and Rose Pink to the 4th slot.
We printed without stops as there is plenty of time to change the filament in the slot, but to be safe, you can set pauses at the required layers.
If your printer supports 5 or more colors, you can print everything without manual filament swaps.
