<p>Print each part, see print instructions.<br>Cut away the wall from the beard with a knife.<br>Assemble the parts and then use a hair dryer/hot air gun to slowly heat up the beard while you use a hand to form it. It's also possible to use warm water.<br>Be careful not to burn yourself.</p><p><strong>Tip</strong>: put the hair dryer on the edge of a table so you can use both hands.</p><p>After you have formed the beard, you can use scissors to make some final adjustments.</p><p>The base of the hat is symmetric so you can print a mirrored version if you want some variation.</p><h3><br><strong>Print instructions</strong></h3><p><br>All parts has been optimized to not need any support.<br>The beard must be printed with a 0.2 layer height and a 0.4 nozzle. I've been told that a 0.6 nozzle also works.<br><br>The user Lamafaenger has proved that it's possible to print scaled versions, they have printed a 175% and 50% version.<br><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/92035-bearded-christmas-gnome/comments#comment-96401">https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/92035-bearded-christmas-gnome/comments#comment-96401</a></p><p>Other parts can be printed with any settings you want.<br>I printed the parts with 10% rectilinear infill and 0.2mm layer height.</p><figure class="image image-style-align-left"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/92035/rich_content/f1f56aae-c871-4285-bb52-b5999e6fa57d/prusa-coffee.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22abff8f28-b5d8-4e73-a52b-ae8d89e5a00e%22%2C%22w%22%3A489%2C%22h%22%3A204%7D"></figure>
