<h3><strong>Overview</strong></h3><p>Build and customize your own gingerbread man bobble with this set of prints, just in time for the holiday season! &nbsp;This gingerbread man is designed to work with <a href="https://www.printables.com/social/106529-3d-printy"><strong>3D Printy</strong></a>'s bobble-head springs and comes with a set of prints for custom decorations, including the following:</p><ul><li>Gumdrop eyes (or buttons)</li><li>Frosting smile / frown mouth</li><li>Frosting “neutral” mouth</li><li>Dapper jacket (my personal favorite)</li><li>Rolled-up shorts</li><li>Patterned shirt</li><li>Suspender pants and shirt</li></ul><figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:35.44%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/321376/rich_content/ecb5699c-48d3-401e-88f8-b58b21ab0a09/gman_bobble.gif#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22e243be1a-16ed-42a9-80d8-f49c4d71d1e4%22%2C%22w%22%3A640%2C%22h%22%3A640%7D"></figure><h3><strong>Printing</strong></h3><p>I printed using PLA on the Prusa i3 MK3 with a bunch of different colors at 0.15mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle. &nbsp;I recommend using the included g-code, since it is pre-sliced to include color changes, like what are shown in the example photos. &nbsp;If you don't want to change the color, you can just remove and re-insert the filament or re-slice.</p><p>I also included the g-code and STLs from <a href="https://www.printables.com/social/106529-3d-printy"><strong>3D Printy</strong></a>'s original spring and base designs that I used for ease of printing. &nbsp;You can find more base and spring options on <a href="https://www.printables.com/social/106529-3d-printy"><strong>3D Printy</strong></a>'s original design page.</p><p>The STLs are included if you do want to re-slice. &nbsp;O recommend printing with the same orientation as what is in my g-code, with the “pegs” flat on the print bed. &nbsp;With that orientation you should just need to include supports only on the build plate. &nbsp;I also recommend slowing down print speed to help everything come out clean since some of the parts are quite small.</p><p>Be careful when removing support material as the parts can be delicate.</p><p>To assemble, just use a little super glue to attach the eyes, mouth, and clothing. &nbsp;The spring can be press-inserted and if it doesn't fit initially I recommend just filing or sanding down the spring peg a little bit until it snaps into place.</p><p>Please like it if you do and leave any comments!</p><p>Check out my <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@gcv3d?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc">TikTok</a>!</p><p>Check out my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5bZDx5pKcU-l8q12rkAs9w">YouTube</a>!</p>
