Easy-print Toucan

thingiverse

Inspired by another bird model I had a blast printing, assembling and painting (http://www.thingiverse.com/make:136861), I made several key modifications to this model to make it even easier to print and assemble. To get started, use glue to assemble the pieces and fill any gaps between the body and head with Polyfilla or a similar filler. Once dry, sand smooth and finish with acrylic paint. I printed the example shown here with 0% infill and 3 shells - no support was required at all. Note that two versions of the head are provided for your convenience. If you want to print the head, beak and eyes in different colors, simply use Toucan_beak+support.stl, Toucan_eyes.stl and Toucan_head+peghole.stl. Otherwise, stick with Toucan_top-halves.stl. Big thanks go out to William_Additive for their inspiration!
