Christmas Elf Nutcrackers

Christmas Elf Nutcrackers are the perfect way to bring holiday cheer to family and friends!

Features:

• Two designs (Alvin and Buddy)
• 22 inches tall (56 cm)
• Friction connectors (no glue required, but you can if you'd like)

Instructions:

• There are two elf designs, Alvin and Buddy. There is a print profile (.3mf file created in Bambu Studio) for each elf design containing multiple build plates for each group of parts. There is also a common print profile containing parts that are required for either design you choose.
• If you're printing from the raw files I've grouped them into folders accordingly. One note is that any files with the _alt suffix are Buddy's variations of certain parts.
• Some parts are interchangeable if you'd like to create your own design: hat, neck, belt, gloves / hands, skirt.

Considerations:

• Brims are disabled globally in the print profiles (.3mf files created in Bambu Studio). I have most plates set to Textured PEI which works well for me on the Bambu Lab X1C as to where a brim isn't required. Also, using a brim on a Textured PEI plate tends to fuse it to the part. If you know your printer and plates you should be able to decide if you need a brim for certain parts so please consider this when printing. The only part that does allow for a brim in the print profile is the belt buckle of the Buddy design which is set to use a Cool plate. With that said the knees and belt buckle of the Alvin design are also set to a Cool plate because I printed them with Silk PLA which I've had issues with removing on Textured PEI plates.

Connectors:

• Size C connectors are used to connect the Boots or Shoes to the base.
• Size B connectors are required for both sides of the Knee part (Alvin design), both sides of the Belt (both designs), and both sides of the Neck part (both designs).
• Size A connectors are for the remaining parts.
