Tia and Ellie - Animal Crossing

thingiverse

The model is from Pocket Camp, thanks to Centrixe for ripping it! I posed the character, added a base and optimized it for 3D printing. The model prints in two separate pieces that need to be glued together at the end. One version has a sphere on top, while the other doesn't, depending on which character you're trying to create (Tia's got the sphere up top). Printing settings: I suggest using both a brim and supports for a smooth print job. I print mine at 0.12 mm resolution. For gluing, I use Locite super glue. First, line up the base and glue it down once it's dry, then attach the head. This allows you to correct any warping that might have occurred during printing. Depending on how you paint it, this could be Tia or Ellie - or even one of the other elephants! If you want to get creative with painting, start by spraying a primer coat, then use acrylic craft paint (I use the cheap stuff from Walmart and it works just fine, just remember to thin it out with water first). After painting's done, I seal my creations with Krylon Colormaxx Clear - Flat.
