My son loves this model, his favorite toy at the moment! Thanks!
Easy print. Followed recommendation of variable layer height and it’s buttery smooth
I added a small dish to its feet to help make a wide surface area and extra tray. Shrunk the dino down a little so the ring had plenty of clearance and printed at .1 layer height with a .4 nozzle. "Dragon scale purple" PLA by protopasta, and a creality white PLA for the lower dish. The model looks great!

Printed the 5-7 card version perfectly (.16mm layer height) in about 25 minutes. Excited to have something a bit nicer than a broccoli rubber band!

I tried twice without brim. It didn't stick. But maybe the problem was with the printer settings. I applied Brim a third time to be on the safe side. It stuck well.
I still didn't use a support, I was a little worried that it would collapse. But didn't happen any terrible. The result is beautiful.
The connections and joints are working fine. Just a little force and spin nicely. Other models had problems with connections, but here things worked fine.
I used a Creality Ender 3 V3 SE printer for printing. I sliced with Cura, using "Super Quality - 0.12mm" default settings. Made of PLA.
Thanks for the really great model!
I am sorry, but while it was super easy to print it was not stable for me at all. It just was disconnecting at the connections especially between round connections.
Is there a trick here I did not understand? Are we supposed to glue it?
Easy to print and assemble. The extensibility is a great feature; I first printed 4 sections and upon installing them realized it wouldn't be enough, so a few minutes later I had a 5th. Maybe now my prayer plant will stop looking so lazy!
Impressed by the fact that this prints easy without any supports. Nice model and gift for anyone named A…
Nice alliteration
It looks like you went to the beach and found some treasure!
Perfect! You can see the perfect use case in my picture. The box is banged up and squished from being pushed aside, knocked off the desktop and stepped on. And because of all that, I could never find it when I needed it most! Now it can hang neatly above my desk in a perfectly accessible spot.
Great job for the contest with this minimalist design!
Quick note however: as another user mentioned in Cura it scales up at 100000% by default. I've manually change the height to 21.75mm to match your gcode. I don't know if it is doing so or if the model has an imperfecton or if it's on purpose: the surface isn't perfectly smooth (see screenshot, don't mind the seam).
That thumb scared the bejezus out of me
@SpookyChris_172985 My real thumb is much scarier.
@SpookyChris_172985 my name is also Chris, and I was also super freaked by the fake thumb.
Printed model as is and it works but very difficult to cut through a pumpkin.
Changed to X 50%, Y & Z to 120% scale and it worked a lot better. The result was a longer and thinner blade that sliced through our pumpkins. Printed in PLA+ and it had a little bit of a bend which was great for going along the curvature of the pumpkin.
PLA+, 5 walls, .25mm layer height, 20% infill. Although, doubt the infill matters given the number of walls.
Printed on AnkerMake M5C, fast profile with the above adjustments, 9 minutes. (edited)
