NEW DESIGN: A fox cub (#33)
Hi guys,
We're glad to present you our new articulated toy - Fox cub.
The fox comes with 3 heads in the set - Standard, Happy and Sleeping.
We've prepared for you pre-painted 3MF files, just change 3d printing settings according to your printer and filaments.
And let us know please how the fox cub turns out in multi-colored printing. It's very interesting to know )
We were going to present it a bit earlier but after painting job we decided to change its eyes, to put them a bit further from the nose. We believe that the new version is much better but if you like the previous one (see the pics). We also left the previous Standard head for you for tests. And if you need the previous Happy head just let us know and we'll give it to you.
It's not easy to paint the fox cub by hand. It took us 3 days to paint him like that. So that's why it's very interesting to know experience from you guys, who has Bambu printers.
Our next steps - remake some old designs to the new attachment system and then we're going to make more simpler designs like Lilu the lizard.
Happy prints and we look forward to hearing from you!
Thank you for your support)
With love and hugs 💜💜💜
Svetlana and Dmitry

Hi, This fox very cute. What filament did you use for the burnt orange for it.
Hi, and thanks for your kind words! We used Dark Orange PETG by Devil Design. It was printed in a single color and then hand-painted.
still think this is one of your cutest models, and i still want to print this, and i'm still subscribed. Still have not been able to print it...... I was able to successfully print the chipmunk with the head attached and was wondering if you could fix this model and at least attach the head like the chipmunk file? I prefer to have the head moving but if that's not possible, the chipmunk turned out so cute i think the fox would turn out so nice like that too...
Julie, thank you so much for your support and your patience. Right now, I'm reviewing feedback on the Snap head joint system, and I also want to make a few more models using only this system to make sure it works smoothly for everyone. After that, I plan to update my older models with movable heads from the Pin system to the Snap system. I’m not sure how long it will take, but I do intend to do it.
It's been 3 months since my comment above... what i did was sliced just the neck and the attachment system and it still broke no matter what i did... i added extra infill and even did more walls... the attachment system was basically a solid piece and still snapped even 1 to 1 ratio. So i assumed maybe it was my printer and gave up for the moment. I had someone re-calibrate my entire printer professionally, and they basically refurbished it back to factory and this was the first file i was so excited to print. Did the same thing... sliced off the neck, and the attachments, and printed a 1/1 ratio with an extra wall and extra infill. It seemed to hold up a bit better but after a little tinkering and wiggling, it still snapped. I did go ahead and printed a multicolor plate (i can provide pics/timelapse) but i'm still fearful that these will break easily, especially if kids play with them.. I noticed your new Flexi Chipmunk and bunny had the heads attached to the bodies (as an option) ... while i prefer the head movement option and like the option where i can print the heads separately, i figured it would be nice to have a print succeed..... at this point i've probably printed about 20 (100%) full color foxes and not had one turn out correctly.....
maybe revisit a few of your older models and revamp the attachment system a little? This fox is the cutest... and i LOVE muffin so much... all your models are so cute i want to include them all <3
The fox is so cute, but I think the old face is cuter. Is there still a way to get it? I mean the happy face :)
Thanks ) The fox is a bonus model this month that means you can download it for free. You can find the link to download it in this post in the Bonus Model section https://www.patreon.com/posts/93014918
I finally got around to print this (as it's free this month!) and i gotta say, this is probably one of your cutest models, and it WOULD be my #1 favorite model to print because it's so cute........ except i had a 100% fail rate on the head connectors. I printed 2 batches (10 bodies total) then a full plate of heads (Full color) when i went to connect them, i found the connectors were too loose... so i experimented and printed them a little larger.... once i snapped them into the head, i think the stress of "playing" with it because some were too small, etc.... made the little connectors on the body break. it's pretty frustrating after a few days printing to have all of the things you print go in the trash :( i cut the tails off and made them into keychains...
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about the fail with the head connection. It's too sad to hear that you had to throw them in a trash bin ( It depends on the filament and the size of the pins, if print the pins too small they are too loose but if print them too big, they can break the petals of the neck socket. We'd recommend to try the connections in one color before print in colors. Some of our members when the petals break they glue the pin in the neck making the head static. We're trying to figure out how we can improve the connectors to keep the way they work. That'd be just wonderful!
Anyone else having issues with the sleepy head staying on? I printed the same size and even increased but it keeps falling off the pin.
We launched a Discord server a few days ago, let's ask people about the issue there. At least many more people can see your question and we all will try to find a solution.
Love this one! They turned out amazing.
We're so happy to hear that! Oh, during this month we're going to make 2 more exclusive Fox heads ) We hope you'll appreciate them 🤗💜🦊
Oh my god it's so cute, and what a great paint job!
Thank you so much 💜💜💜 I'm happy to hear that!
