Grand Condor - Mystérieuses Cités d'Or

thingiverse

I tried to represent as accurately as possible the Great Condor of the anime "Mysterious Cities of Gold". The wings are designed to rotate freely, just like their tips and feathers, not to mention the cockpit glass roof and the condor's head. In fact, it's only in season 2 that we see the nose can be opened. I carefully modelled the Great Condor with initial dimensions of 1600mm x 690mm x 230mm. With a single printer at my disposal featuring a 150x150mm² tray, I previewed the figurine at a scale of 0.3 (30%). What's more, all parts fit perfectly into this area in one piece at a scale of 0.3. However, some parts proved to be quite challenging to print on this scale. For example, the head and mandible are only one thickness thick with a 0.4mm nozzle, which requires several tests to find the right position to adopt with or without support or brim.
