He is often accompanied by his dog "K-9". &nbsp;On numerous occasions, he has tried to destroy the Earth with his "Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator"</p><p>No supports are required. &nbsp; Two pieces contains built-in supports, optional parts without the built-in supports are also supplied if you want to use your slicer supports (see notes below). &nbsp;If you have the proper filament colors, no painting is needed.</p><p>The assembled model is 210mm tall.</p><p>Enjoy!</p><p><strong>visor.stl and helmet.slt corrected on 7/22/2021</strong><br>...........................................................................................................</p><p>**Print Instructions:**<br>Supports: No<br>Resolution: .2mm<br>Infill: 10%</p><p>Notes:**</p><p>Refer to the notes below for a few helpful printing and assembly instructions.</p><p>...........................................................................................................</p><p>**Building the model**</p><p>Colors</p><p>Black: (Paramount3D PLA - Black)<br>head<br>eye_black_right<br>eye_black_left<br>shoe_stripes_left<br>shoe_stripes_right<br>shoe_dots (contains four identical pieces)<br>..</p><p>Yellow: (Paramount3D PLA - Simpson Yellow)<br>broom_bristles<br>..</p><p>Gold: (Hatchbox PLA -&nbsp;Gold)<br>broom_base<br>broom_handle<br>..</p><p>Green: (Hatchbox PLA - True Green)<br>visor<br>visor_connector_left<br>visor_connector_right<br>helmet<br>belt<br>..</p><p>Red: (Hatchbox PLA - True Red)<br>legs<br>body<br>body_without_supports (optional piece)<br>shoe_red_left<br>shoe_red_right<br>..</p><p>White: (Overture PLA - White)<br>eye_white_left<br>eye_white_right<br>shoe_white_left<br>shoe_white_right<br>hand_left<br>hand_right<br>hand_right_without_supports (optional piece)<br>..</p><p>The gun is shown with different colors. &nbsp;I used:&nbsp;<br>Silver: (Protoparadigm PLA (out of business) - Silver)<br>gun_body<br>gun_barrel_front<br>gun_barrel_back<br>gun_trigger<br>gun_sight</p><p>Any color: (hidden piece):<br>belt_pin<br>..</p><p>...........................................................................................................</p><p>**Printing and assembly tips**</p><p>Printing tips<br>1 - No supports are required. &nbsp; &nbsp;Two pieces contains built-in supports, hand_right and body. &nbsp;Optional parts without the built-in supports are also supplied if you want to use your slicer supports</p><p>2 - There are some pieces that may need brims or rafts, use your discretion. &nbsp;When setting up my prints I prefer to be conservative, especially since the base of many parts are hidden when inserted into another part. &nbsp;</p><p>*I used brims on:&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;- hand_left, hand_right<br>&nbsp;- shoe_dots</p><p>3 - Do NOT use a brim on the shoe_stripes. &nbsp;The part prints easily without a brim and a slightly thick first layer due to a brim may result in a tight fit.</p><p>4 - When removing parts from the printer bed, it's a good idea to place left/right parts into separate containers to help with the assembly process since many left/right parts are very similar.</p><p>..<br>Assembly tips:</p><p>1 - Take your time gluing the model together and enjoy the process. &nbsp;Give some thought into which parts to glue together as groups and then gluing the groups together. &nbsp;Let the glue for each group set completely before combining groups.</p><p>2 - I used E6000 sticky craft glue to put this model together. The sticky glue allows more time to position the parts than a fast drying superglue. &nbsp;I have 'fat fingers' and a shaky hand, so the sticky glue works out best for me, especially with small pieces. &nbsp;Just remember to leave enough time for the glue to set before combining too many parts.</p><p>3 - Based on maker feedback I made some of the connections a bit looser. &nbsp;This turned out to be a double edged sword. &nbsp;The looser connections make gluing a bit more fussy. &nbsp;My broom dried at a slight tilt instead of straight! &nbsp;So, for this model, some parts may be easier with a fast drying superglue.</p><p>4 - Be sure that the hands are glued properly to the body and the flat parts join nicely. &nbsp;If you have any problem, just clean off a bit from the body connector to ensure a smooth connection.</p><p>5 - The gun fits nicely into the hand and does not need to be glued in case you want to swap out the gun with another color or object. &nbsp;My wife could not decide on the gun color until the model was finished so I printed three different guns until she found something she liked.</p><p><br>6 - The visor connectors should be glued into the helmet before attaching the visor. &nbsp;The visor will only fit one way, the flat bed side of the visor should be on top. Take care ensuring left/right connectors are on the correct sides. &nbsp;The full helmet/visor can be dry fitted to ensure everything is in the right place.</p><p>7 - Refer to the assembly diagrams in the pictures section as well as the uploaded pictures for putting the model together. The model is meant to be glued.</p><p>Do not hesitate to ask questions, feedback is essential to making better models.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
