"Steins;Gate" Upa

thingiverse

Upa from the anime series Steins;Gate. I've designed this in multiple components, each optimised for 3D printing and easily printable in various colours. My Upa features painted details, but if printed in different hues, only the ears' insides will require painting. The whole Upa model is included, though I haven't personally attempted to print it, so its printing success is unknown at this scale. However, I believe it's worth the challenge. The head and trousers are divided into two parts that need to be glued or acetone welded together. I printed my version using PLA and employed chemical welding for the parts. Both components are included in their entirety but will necessitate support during printing. All other components hold each other together, but gluing may be required. The feet require substantial support; I advise enforcing support for approximately half their height. Two belt pieces must be printed and glued together, with the support easily removable if desired. For smaller parts, I find that printing multiple at once helps ensure proper cooling between layers, increasing the likelihood of obtaining decent prints from each batch.
