Human: The next big animal feature in Your Wild World is without a doubt the majestic orangutan. These incredible creatures may not exactly walk like royalty when they're on the ground, but that's beside the point - they're amazing animals all the same. Orangutans are a lot closer to humans than most people would guess, with 97% of their genetic makeup mirroring our own. They have furry coats, big personalities and a mind-blowing intelligence level that rivals that of many humans. Did you know that if an orangutan gets its hands on a candy bar, it will happily split it in two and return the second half? It's one heck of a clever trick. As awesome as orangutans are, their populations in the wild are dwindling at an alarming rate - it's really no wonder they're likely to be the next great ape to go extinct if things keep up. That's exactly why we've created this amazing print to raise awareness about the dwindling numbers of these magnificent creatures. By spreading the word and avoiding any products made from rainforest timber, you can do your part in helping these incredible animals survive. So grab a copy of this print today and lend a helping hand to orangutans everywhere! Here are some super cool videos that really capture the magic of orangutans - I think you'll love 'em just as much as I do.

Here are the download instructions for those interested in printing their very own Orangutan today. Instructions To Print Using A Single Extruder ----------------------------- For Single Extruders, you'll need to: * Download and import the orangutan_single_extruder.stl file. * You can get by with using 10% infill. The best part is, it won't require exterior supports; just set Replicator G's supports settings to exterior. However, in my personal opinion (as you may be aware, there is no universal consensus here), and even though some say you should try without exterior support at all times (the very bottom layer still demands a good deal of patience, don't you think?), we've noticed that the orangutan_single_extruder file performs well with both. Instructions for Using Dual Extruders -------------------------------------- Here are your guidelines on how to create your own amazing orangutan friend when using two separate extruders at once. We employed Replicator G and merged two separate .STL files in order to produce an incredible 3D print. First of all, Download the two relevant files: * orangutan_and_nose.stl * mouth_and_eyes.stl We have discovered that a mere 10% infill does the trick - after all who needs unnecessary clutter when beauty can still reign supreme?
