Baby Jasper - separated & printable

thingiverse

For those who want to print a really large baby or have lost one or more pieces and don't want to reprint the whole baby again, I've included each part as a separate file. Each file includes the left side of the piece, with mirrored files labeled "mirror" at the end of the name if necessary. The balls for the joints only need to be printed twice, so they're labeled "x2". I tried printing the original design but it wouldn't print successfully without supports everywhere due to its head design. This made cleaning out all the other pieces a lot more work than I was willing to do. To resolve this issue, I separated the head file from the rest of the parts and ran both through Netfabb to correct a few problems with some of the ball joints. The pink baby was printed before I fixed the files, so I used three balls from my initial attempt to print baby Jasper with supports everywhere. The yellow baby was printed using the updated files I uploaded. I've found that dental floss makes an excellent string for this model. It's strong, easy to thread through the holes, and clings to itself, making it simple to tie up the parts. A bit of super glue or crazy glue can be used on the knot to keep it from coming untied. The pink doll was printed on an Ender 3 Pro at a layer height of 0.12mm with supports as described above. The yellow doll was printed on the same machine at a layer height of 0.2mm using tree supports from Cura's experimental section. Traditional supports can also be used to print both portions. There are four sizes of ball joint, ranging from largest to smallest: hip, knee, elbow, and shoulder.
