Mad Hatter

Mad Hatter, a character from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In the story, he explains to Alice that he and the March Hare are always having tea because when he tried singing for the foul-tempered Queen of Hearts, she sentenced him to death for "murdering time". At the tea party, the Hatter is characterized by switching places on the table at any given time, making short, personal remarks, asking unanswerable riddles, and reciting nonsensical poetry. No supports are required. If you have the proper filament colors, no painting is needed. The assembled model stands 260mm tall.

No supports are required. 2. I printed all the pieces without a brim or raft; however, the hat_brim_front and hat_brim_back pieces need to adhere to the base extremely well to avoid lifting at the corners. You might want to consider a brim or raft on these pieces even if you normally do not print with a brim/raft. 3. The parts should fit nicely when printed cleanly or with a slight first layer squish. The only 'tight' parts are the eye_blacks if you have too much of a first layer squish. Assembly tips: 1. Some parts could accidentally be put in backwards, so be sure to double check against the diagram and my pictures. I find my areas that could be a bit better as I put my model together - The pants should be positioned to have the belly bulge facing front; The eye_whites should have the slightly larger bulge facing the nose. 2. Take care when inserting the left hand into the jacket. It fits perfectly but is at an odd angle. Just keep rotating it until it fits into place. 3. The teeth fit into a slot in the head, but with fat fingers like mine, I needed a pair of tweezers to place them in position. 4. The teapot handle should snap into the hand_left; no glue is needed. I strongly suggest gluing the tea_drop to the teapot as the last item of the model. You want to ensure that it hangs straight down. 5. Refer to the assembly diagram for putting the model together. The model is meant to be glued.
