Printing tips:

Printed with 0.16mm layer height
7% gyroid infill
2 walls
with ADDON_Brim and ADDON_Spring-joiner

May be harder to print than typical models
You will need a good bed adhesion and a good cooling

You may be needed to separate spring coils from each other after a print. Usually just with your finger nails, in some more rare cases with a thin knife (scalpel)
It mostly depends on your seam settings and filament stringing

It is recommended to use PrusaSlicer because of the option 'avoid crossing curled overhangs'

If you will have problems with a nozzle knocking out spring parts you can use ADDON_Brim (adding a brim on sides) or even ADDON_Spring-joiner or SpringyTortoise_ADDON_Spring-joiner-Extanded wich will connect spring parts on the bottom (extanded - on the highier place too) with two lines - you will need to cut it with a knife after print

ADDONs should be merged with base model 
For example you can add PARTS_Body, ADDON_Brim and ADDON_Keyring, set it in the same place and merge all three models (right click menu)

For installing eyes use pliers
Flat part of eyes is going inside
If eyes will not fit (too big for a hole) you can use a sandpaper/file or print eyes with XY Compensation (Horizontal expansion) - try -0.05mm or even -0.1mm
