The Joyful yell no/minimal support

thingiverse

Do you love bendansie's masterpiece The Joyful Yell as much as I do? Do you hate removing supports and the scars it leaves on great models just like me? If so, this may be the solution. I carefully cut the original model (medium merged) into three pieces using Netfabb. The cuts are done such that 1) no support is needed, 2) the most critical part is printed at best quality, and 3) the seams are as inconspicuous as possible. I then did a 200% scaled-up print at 0.08mm and in Hatchbox 720C PLA. Gluing is simple, although I recommend E6000 (a type of shoe glue) for the face-torso job because superglue dries too quickly to make fine alignment adjustments. Due to the model's complexity, I couldn't find a perfect cut. As a result, the collar area suffered from some overhang issues. In return, I get perfect face, hair, clothes texture, and very inconspicuous seams. I suspect that if you have better cooling and printed at a smaller scale, the result may be much better. Also, I suspect that the scars after removing support would have been much worse and prominent, although I didn't do a test and comparison. At the very least, you can still print my cut pieces with minimal support, and it will be much less intrusive than printing the full model with support. Thank you bendansie again for sharing this great piece of art!

Use minimal support on yell2 if necessary. Glue after printing. E6000 recommended for gluing face and torso because superglue dries too quickly to make fine adjustments.
