Tiffany's Mini Fig

thingiverse

Tiffany, a gifted grade 12 student, utilized her spare time to work on an upcoming project involving printing tolerances. Initially, she used a .1mm tolerance between pegs and holes for her minifig re-creation in Solid Edge using a mini fig as reference; however, the design was too tight. She rectified this by increasing the tolerance to .2mm. Her design is similar to another on Thingiverse but with subtle differences, leading to the decision to upload it. The parts have a .2mm difference between pegs and holes for friction fit, with PLA versions offering the best 'fit'. ABS parts look better, though issues with shrinking and fit may arise, depending on printer and materials used. Legsupport.stl and hand.stl required external support, while other parts were printed with 1 shell and a 20% infill.
