Neytiri model from Avatar remix

thingiverse

There seemed to be problems with the pilonieta remix of this figure, so I used Meshmixer to re-combine the two segments and created a new plane cut to give two nice smooth surfaces to place on the printer bed. In doing so, however, I cut off a portion of one hand and a bit of the ponytail, so these now have to be printed separately and attached afterward. I have included two versions here - numbers 1 & 2 are the straight stl. files that will require supports to be added if you wish to do this in your own slicer. Numbers 5 & 6 have supports already in place from Meshmixer and are print-ready. These are the ones I used to print this. Numbers 3 & 4 - the hand and braid segments - do not need supports but, because of their small size, will need a raft or brim to hold them securely on the print bed and can be used whichever version you choose to print. To get the best detail, printer resolution should be high. The person I did this for wanted a small figure, so these are scaled to give a figure about 80 mm. (3") high. If you want a larger model, you can re-scale it in your slicer. There are some detailed videos describing the prints, their assembly and finishing which I have included for those interested. In the first one, the relevant section is about from minute 4 to minute 9. The second is mostly about the model except for about 5 minutes in the middle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK9t-ex0knI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqLLLldcItE
