Articulated Mario Print in Place

thingiverse

I edited a Mario model to feature articulated arms and legs. The entire figure is printed as one piece! Take a look at articulated Luigi: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4099116 Some supports are required for the print, but it's worth noting that they're not necessary in all cases. I recommend placing supports on the thumbs, ears, and neck areas. Be cautious around the neck because you wouldn't want to limit its movement. In my experience, one support per connector works well. I didn't bother with the back of the model since it's almost flat and I'm still learning about hinges. However, I've included the full model for your reference. If you're using Cura, I've included a project file that I used to print the model. It employs "Custom supports" and might not work if you don't have them installed. Simply place the model on the plate so that the back of the figure comes out flat. You may be able to get away without a raft air gap, but check your settings before printing. I printed the purple model with a raft using default Cura settings, while the blue one is still in prototype form. bitcoin addr: 3Gn7kpiPoqehnP5ReewrXuKeYUxpHrxfqm Edit 1: I've fixed the head. You can either print CE3_Mario2.3mf or Mario2.stl to get a gap-free model.
