Bender flaming burp

thingiverse

I couldn't find an online bender design that was exciting enough for me, so I created one from scratch using SolidWorks. It took me about 12 hours of modeling. I've made a genuine effort to be as realistic as possible, so the geometry isn't optimized for support-free printing, and some details are quite small, which means it's not recommended to print at a smaller scale or with a large nozzle unless you're willing to sacrifice detail. This fun bender is about 33cm tall once assembled. The center of gravity is above the feet, so it should stand up on its own, but I've added legs mod in case you need it or prefer it. To get the best results, try printing with the following orientation: Legs: Stand them upright without support Body: Stand it upright without support Head: Stand it upright with support Arms/Cigar: Lay them sideways with support Fingers/Bottle: Stand them upright without support Flame: Print it flat, no support required The Cigar and bottle might interfere with the fingers, which is intentional to give you flexibility in positioning during assembly. You may need to use a knife or Dremel to adjust the fit before gluing them. Head/arms/fingers and legs can be rotated into any position you like before gluing them. If you enjoy this design or find it entertaining, please feel free to tip me on paypal.me. Thanks for your time. Enjoy!
