Sonic the Hedgehog - Multi Color with Single extruder (no MMU)

thingiverse

I don't have a MMU2 but I wanted to print it anyway in multicolor and not painting the model, so I redesigned all the parts for snap fit. Every piece can be printed alone with the right color and then just put all the interlocking pieces together with a drop of glue. Some parts are a little forced and a sandpaper is needed. The head, shoes and body are printed at 0.15mm while the rest at 0.1mm. The tail and the legs are the most difficult parts to print, temperature at minimum and fan at maximum. The shoe buckles are glued with a drop of glue and then heated with the hot air gun to make them adhere better to the shape of the shoes. Assemble the body first, by starting with the legs and shoes first, then the torso, belly and the arms with the hands. Assemble the two parts of the head together using the pins to align them, then the eyes completed with all the pieces (the pupils are too small to print so I heated a piece of white filament with a hot air gun and when it started to melt and spinning, thinning its diameter, I quickly slipped it into the black part of the eye, made it cool, cut and finished with a cutter), then the mouth with the nose and ears. Once the two parts (head and body) are finished, join them together with a little of glue. As the model was a bit unbalanced due to the weight of the head and it would fall at the slightest vibration, I decided to add a base with a big washer to make weight. I printed the two parts of the base separately, inserted the washer and glued the two parts. The glued sonic onto the base.
