Although each piece was modelled within a 10x10x10 cm constraint, the dog was longer length-wise than height-wise so it seemed smaller. We went back into Solidworks to scale the whole model up. We encountered some problems here with the discrepancy in the scaled-up figure and the cuts based on the original sketches. Additionally, the holes in the pieces were too small for the pegs we used to hold the dog together. So we also scaled up the size of the holes. We also added aesthetic details like holes for eyes and protruded ears and feet.Side-by-Side comparisons of initial and scaled-up dog with the rest of The Animal Office Supply Set: AssemblyIf printed with scaffolds, the holes will be filled with gunk that needs to be cleaned out firstInsert the 4 pegsPush pieces together
