Miraculous Ladybug - "Spots-on"

prusaprinters

<p>Ladybug gets her "Spots-on" and stands on her own in a natural pose. A fun, well balanced model that demonstrates how modifiers can be used.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>The .3mf has all of the STLs setup in the proper order. I labeled the STL files with numbers to define the order. The mask is a modifier and mask-spots modifies the mask so the order the STLs are loaded is important.</p> <h3>GCode</h3> <p>I print with PETG and have trouble with long strings on the tips after retraction. These tips causes failures in a number of ways but I have found a solution, 'dribbling'.</p> <p>The GCode was generated with my fork of PrusaSlicer which is just the standard release with a user submitted <a href="https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/pull/2743">pull labeled 'Dribbling'</a>.</p> <p>I encourage anyone printing with PETG that has long strings on their tips to try the GCode I've provided; it has dribbling. If you believe 'dribbling' makes a difference <a href="https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/pull/2743">leave a comment and let Prusa know.</a></p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p>To print with PLA or change setting the .3mf file can be loaded into PrusaSlicer where changes can be made.</p> <h3>Filaments</h3> <p>Here is where I found <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZ7IC8V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1">'skin' colored PETG</a>. The rest of the colors are readily available.</p> <p>Extruder Colors:<br/> 1) Blue<br/> 2) Red<br/> 3) Skin<br/> 4) White<br/> 5) Black</p> <h3>Technical Details</h3> <p>"Spots-on"<br/> <img alt="spheres embedded in the suit" src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/22275/images/219326_f505e21f-43e1-4f6b-b168-8dff2b4e92df/thumbs/cover/130x130/jpg/prusaslicerbuildplate.jpg"/><br/> presented a challenge and after a lot of trial and error I came to use embedded spheres as as modifiers in Prusa Slicer.</p> <h3>History</h3> <p>Inspired by: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3235671">Marinette Miraculous Ladybug"</a><br/> Origin: <a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/ladybug-wip-7a6354898c53412fbdc2ecaff3b3c215">Sketchfab - kotbfg</a></p> <p><img alt="Original" src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/59/4f/8d/51/41/8c7acd2ab47ede7eb53d86a57f08f844_preview_featured.jpg"/></p> <h3>Blender 2.8</h3> <p>Blender is an amazing tool enabling me to shorten legs and arms and create a set of 3D objects for defining multicolor prints.</p> <p>Blender also has amazing tools for manipulating meshes including fully animating them. There is an online tool, <a href="http://mixamo.com">Mixamo.com</a>, that allows you to upload a model, rig it, review hundreds of animation sequences with your model, and download the ones you like for use in your projects. A standing pose got me very close to the final model presented here.</p> <p><img alt="Final Result" src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/22275/images/219400_dd3a3444-dd45-4bcd-97e4-3f221fc6d09e/thumbs/inside/1280x960/jpg/ladybug_spots_standalone.jpg"/></p>
