paper tiger

thingiverse

Just crafted a paper tiger model and printed it out, but I think it's more like a panther - a true Wakanda warrior! The front legs aren't quite right as per the original design, and the tail section could use some improvement (I'm still struggling to get it just right). I opted to print it vertically because I was worried that removing support material would be a real challenge if printed horizontally. As you can see, the tail has a sanded area - a symptom of my printer's notorious layer shift issue (still not sure what causes it). The jaw is also not its best due to a combination of small details and narrow support. Despite these imperfections, I'm still pretty pleased with how it turned out!
