Minecraft Wither - Fully Articulated

thingiverse

In protest of Thingiverse's patent attempt on community-conceived designs, I moved this Minecraft Wither file to Repables (http://repables.com/r/286/) and Github (https://github.com/sgraber/Minecraft_Wither-Fully_Articulated). For more information, visit openbeamusa.com/blog/2014/5/22/stay-classy-makerbot, and use #makerbot and #takerbot tags. My son and a friend requested a Wither model with movable heads; using LEGO Technic pins for durability was the solution. These pins can be purchased on Amazon or Ebay for $10. The assembled Withers fit together nicely, with pins holding parts as securely as in normal LEGO bricks. I was inspired by arthurtilly's Tiny Wither (thingiverse.com/thing:320990). My printing specifications include a 0.4mm nozzle, three perimeters, 0.25mm layer height, 20% infill, and 195C / 65C extruder/HBP temperature. Face parts are printed facing up with support from Cura. All parts were modeled in Inventor and exported as STLs for printing. Be sure to reorient some parts before printing to ensure the correct direction.
