Big pieces with different colors and shapes with animal silhouettes hidden beneath.</p> <p>I made it as a present for a one year old and she loves it.</p> <p><em>Warning: To small kids this might look like a hammer. Make sure your toes does not look like nails.</em></p> <h3>Demo:</h3> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/s7d6SKIvX1g"></oembed> </figure> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Additional parts needed</h3> <p>8 M4x12mm screws<br/> 8 M4 nuts (3mm thick)<br/> 8 M4 washers</p> <h3>General</h3> <p>To achieve optimal quality and avoid sharp edges I recommend using a small amount of <a href="https://help.prusa3d.com/en/article/elephant-foot-compensation_114487">elephant foot compensation</a> for the first layer of all parts.</p> <h3>Bottom</h3> <ul> <li>Start with white filament and add a <a href="https://help.prusa3d.com/en/article/color-change_1687">color change</a> at 0.6mm to change to black filament for good contrast for the animal silhouettes.</li> <li>Pause the print at 6.6mm (beginning of the layer) to <em><strong>add the M4 nuts</strong></em> (I used a color change to pause at the correct height).</li> </ul> <h3>Tiles</h3> <p>Add a <a href="https://help.prusa3d.com/en/article/color-change_1687">color change</a> at 5.2mm to print the shape in a different color.</p> <h3>Assembly</h3> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9hokxjw0iVg"></oembed> </figure>
