While both sizes share the same design, the connectors are custom-tuned for their respective scales to ensure a perfect fit right off the build plate. Assembly Essentials Dry Fit First: Always perform a "dry build" without glue to ensure you understand part alignment before making it permanent.Perspective: When I refer to "Left" and "Right," imagine you are the goose looking forward!Material Choice: * Indoor: PLA is great.Outdoor: Use PETG.High Heat: If you live in a very hot climate, consider ASA or ABS to prevent warping.Scaling: If you scale the model down further, you may need to reduce the connector size by an additional 1–2%.Recommended Filaments Raincoat, Boots & Hat: Turquoise & Sunflower YellowBody & Head: WhiteBeak : Pumpkin OrangeEyes: BlackBase: Transparent Blue (PLA for Not So XL / PETG for XL)Printing Tip: For the 3mf files, supports are pre-enabled.
