Charlie Brown

Charlie Brown, from Charles Schulz's Peanuts comic strip, is a gentle, insecure, and lovable character. He possesses significant determination and hope, but frequently fails due to his insecurities, outside interference, or plain bad luck. To bring Charlie Brown to life, you'll need the right filament colors, which will help you avoid any painting needs. The model stands at an impressive 140mm tall, making it a great addition to your collection. For printing, make sure to use a printer that can handle the task, such as the FlashForge Creator X. You won't need rafts or supports, but do ensure a resolution of .2mm and an infill percentage of 10%. Here are some helpful printing and assembly tips to keep in mind: Building the Model ----------------- The model consists of several parts that can be printed using a single color scheme. Here's how you can break it down: * Black: hair, eyebrows, eyes, mouth, shirt stripes, pants * Beige or Flesh: head top, head bottom, arm left, arm right, legs * Brown: shoes * Yellow: shirt top, shirt bottom, socks * Any color (hidden pieces): pins Printing and Assembly Tips --------------------------- Here are some tips to keep in mind when printing and assembling Charlie Brown: 1. As with most of my models, no supports are required. 2. Make sure to clean any first-layer squish if you encounter any issues joining parts. The parts should fit nicely when printed cleanly or with a slight first-layer squish. 3. I did not require any rafts or brims for any of the parts. Assembly Tips ------------- Here are some additional assembly tips to keep in mind: 1. The eyebrows have the thinner part pointing toward the nose. If you encounter any issues inserting them into the head, simply flip them over and put them in with the flat side facing out. 2. The left/right eyes are interchangeable. There is an up/down positioning of each eye. If it doesn't look right when inserted, just rotate the eye piece for a better fit. 3. Since I model with the goal of no supports, the angle of the left arm did not allow for a dent into the shirt. This is not really an issue here; just glue the left arm to the shirt sleeve and an extra dab of glue on his hand where it touches the stripe. 4. Refer to the assembly diagram for putting the model together. The model is meant to be glued.
