<b>Assembly Guide - READ THE README!</b> These files are not ready to print as is. You will have to measure all objects out individually to fit your printer configuration, preferred model size, and tools at hand. This is a DIY project that requires attention. Tools you will need: * 3D Printer (obviously) that is decently calibrated and a filament suitable for small details * Box cutter, pliers, and other cutting tools * Some kind of glue that attaches to PLA - a hot glue gun works fine if you have a steady hand * Ruler/Measuring tape or a keen eye for measurements * Optional: Paint - I used hobby lacquer, a "promarker," and acrylic * Optional: Double-sided tape - preferably not too sticky Depending on your printer, calibration, filament, and time at hand, you will have to measure out all parts and approximate based on your build. * Body: The body was printed at 0.1 or 0.2mm layer height (I forgot) at 60mm across X with 10% infill. Scale it up or down to your preference and use it as a baseline for the rest of the pieces. * Eye - The eye pictured is 25mm across. I printed multiple eyes, scaling them up in 2mm increments, and 25mm worked for me, though it's a bit too large for this body. Smaller eyes were okay in quality, but some eyelashes broke off when trimming excess plastic on the smaller ones. * Bowtie - The pictured bowtie is 20mm across. I would scale it up to 25mm if making another model. This was printed at 0.06mm layer height. * Arms and Legs - Both were printed at 40mm in "height," laid flat at 0.06mm layer height, with support material and a bit of plate adhesion. I trimmed off about 3-4mm from the top of the legs with sharp pliers as they were modeled too long. A fair amount of cleaning up support material was needed for these pieces, but the result looked good enough for me.
