The newly crafted (and hand-colored) model boasts a length of 145mm (5.75 inches), a testament to innovative craftsmanship from across the Atlantic, reflected in its use of British spellings as a nod to its country of origin. Guidelines Print the design to its full potential by maximizing its dimensions for outstanding results. If you prefer to print the model's components separately: The tail exhibits exceptional print quality at 0.1 layer height settings. To circumvent the hassle of assembling the main body from two halves, a pre-separated "main_body.stl" file is provided. However, all users will need to include support for the intake vents on the primary structure. Alternatively, you can print the 'all-in-one' model (where it proudly stands on its tail rockets), bearing in mind the latest updates. On April 3rd, 2018, I replaced the earlier "TB2-with_support.stl" file with an upgraded version ("TB2-thicker+support+repair.stl"), incorporating three key enhancements: Each surface now boasts complete solidness. Delicate sections on the tail have been reinforced to increase thickness. Built-in support systems have been fine-tuned for improved print quality. This version is highly recommended (minimum height of 125mm is essential). However, users may also opt for the "TB2-thickened2.stl" file without built-in supports and apply a fresh coat once printing is complete. The "TB2-repaired-needs_support.stl" alternative is another option, requiring supports be enabled to print successfully. It boasts smaller dimensions but retains Tobs' original structure and is specifically suited for fast slicing and rapid printing processes.
