Challenging print, but well worth the time when you behold Absol form before your eyes. 2016-09-05 - Added Absol-Full.stl by request. Print Settings Printer Brand: SeeMeCNC Printer: Rostock MAX Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: .20mm Infill: 20% Notes: See Print Notes since Markdown doesn't appear to work properly here. How I Designed This I retrieved the base model from ROEStudios and imported it into Meshmixer to dissect individual meshes and extrude faces into objects. I then imported it into Tinkercad for orientation, custom support, and size polishing. A few pieces (head & body) I returned back to Meshmixer to generate support. For Absol-Full.stl, I made minor fixes through Meshmixer to combine the head and dew claws with the body before running it through MakePrintable; then, finished it back in Meshmixer to reduce triangle count. Print Notes You may need to experiment with support depending on how well you have your printer calibrated. If I had to print over, I would scale up at least 150%. This one ranks as one of the more challenging prints I've done to date where I had to babysit with a frosting spatula and place a spot fan to prevent the PLA from curling (see babysitting photo). I assembled the pieces together with Testor's modeling glue and super glue. I used a heat gun to soften the plastic, giving it a nice snug fit. Finally, I applied some modeling paint for the eyes and nose (paint before attaching the face). Absol-Body.stl or Absol-Body-supported.stl - Print in white. I supplied one with support to aid in better foot containers. Absol-Claw.stl - Print four in blue. I designed the same claw for simplicity. I used a brim instead of a raft so it would be easier to clean. I printed along with dewclaws and jewel. Absol-Dewclaw.stl - Print four in blue. I actually print with a brim along with claws and jewel. Absol-Face.stl - Print in blue. Good luck, I had to babysit with a frosting spatula for curling, as well as using a fan while support is not necessary (actually the auto-generation in S3D doesn't create any even at 30 degree overhang). I slowed the print speed from 30mm/s to 20mm/s, printed at the lowest temperature I could get away with (190C) at .1mm resolution and, also, printed with the tail just to give the plastic more time to cool. Absol-Head.stl or Absol-Head-supported.stl - Print in white. I printed several versions trying different orientations and I think this one nets the best quality. I only had to babysit with my handy spatula for the first 10 layers or so till the head was formed and curling was at a minimum. Again, good luck. Absol-Jewel.stl - Print in blue. I printed along with claws and dewclaws. Absol-Tail.stl or Absol-Tail-Alt.stl - Print in blue. The alternate I felt produced a more uniform output that matched the head protrusion, and provided the height to print along with face. Credits Obviously, visit Pokémon for everything Pokémon.
