PLA frogs with and without cooling fan experiment Free 3D print model

Two of MorenaP's treefrogs are being 3D printed, one with the cooling fan and one without. To illustrate the importance of the cooling fan when using PLA plastic, we borrowed MorenaP's popular treefrog design due to its cute appearance and belly overhang shape. The frog on the right was printed successfully by enabling the cooling fan, whereas the one on the left failed miserably despite using the same 3D model and print file. The main difference is that the PLA plastic cooled down naturally without a cooling fan, resulting in noticeable distortions of its shape as it comes out of the 3D nozzle. It's clear that having a cooling fan makes all the difference when working with this material!
