Calvin and Hobbes Snowmen Village (Collection)

IMPORTANT WARNING! Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson has explicitly stated his disapproval of merchandise using his art. In respect for him and his outstanding work, please refrain from selling digital or physical copies of these creations. As this is an ongoing project, I'm eager to complete a few more scenes before sharing them with you. Given that Christmas is approaching, I wanted to share this enjoyable non-denominational holiday decoration with you. Full credit goes to my incredible wife for the idea, while Bill Watterson and I modeled the characters. Key notes on printing: I've successfully printed some parts using a DLP (resin) printer, but all of them were done using an FDM printer. Simply adjust your printer settings for smaller parts and take your time gluing together after printing. Oh, and be prepared to buy plenty of sandpaper... Regarding the bowling ball, I found it easiest to print the head while it's nestled in the bowling ball holder, floating a few mm above. Depending on your software, automate or manually add supports and print slowly. I also suggest printing the bowling ball with high infill and pins with low infill for maximum entertainment. I attempted to upload a brief video of the bowling in action but was unable to due to MyMiniFactory's restrictions.

If you want to scale up or down, be sure to apply the same percentage to all objects you plan to print together. I hope you enjoy these creations and look forward to adding more to this collection as I continue working on it.
