Minecraft Chicken

The model can is set up to be printed in multiple pieces separated by color. An openSCAD file for remixing purposes.

Several different variations are available:

V2 Torsos

V2 torsos have 2 eye pieces that individually insert after printing, offering a easier printing process. Simply print all parts separately.

V3 Torsos

V3 torsos have a single eye piece that inserts during printing, resulting in less of the eyes being visible from the side, and less post processing. However they are a bit more complicated to print and require a well-calibrated printer

1. Print the eye piece first
2. Add a color change above the eye socket on the torso, and insert the eye piece when the print pauses (see sliced file for reference).

1. Allow print to finish normally

Multicolor Torsos

Multicolor torsos have the torso piece assembled with the eye piece, allowing for hands free printing and minimal post processing

Troubleshooting

If you forget to insert the eyes during the print, cut the eye piece in half with pliers, shave some material off the backside, and then insert the halves separately into the finished torso piece.

Baby Chicken (V2 and V3):

They baby chicken uses the same head pieces as its respective full-size counterpart, but uses a smaller pair of legs

The baby chicken may be physically unstable due to its relatively large head. As such, I recommend using more perimeters and higher infill on the legs and lower torso, using a height range modifier (see pre-sliced file).
