About this 3D model

Wile E. Coyote, a cartoon character in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of short films produced by Warner Bros. He is a cunning, devious and constantly hungry coyote repeatedly attempting to catch the Road Runner. Instead of using his animal instincts, the coyote uses absurdly complex contraptions to try to catch his prey, which comically backfire, with the coyote often getting injured in slapstick fashion. No supports are required. One piece contains built-in supports and two other parts contain built-in braces. Optional parts without the built-in supports/braces are also supplied if you want to use your slicer supports (see notes below). *** Due to differences in slicers and slicer parameters, I've found that some slicer parameters will fuse the built-in supports to the body. I've narrowed it down on the Prusa Slicer to ‘detect bridging perimeters’ but have not found the culprit in Bambu Slicer** If you have the proper filament colors, no painting is needed. The assembled model is 175mm tall, 315mm long and is mostly in proportion to my previously released Looney Tunes models.

One piece contains built-in supports, body_front. An optional part without the built-in supports is also supplied if you want to use your slicer supports. The built-in supports are designed for a .4mm nozzle and for the size that the model is presented. Use your discretion for which part to use if you resize the model significantly. 2 - The right arm on body_front is a quite fragile, just below the elbow, (until the guling process which holds everything together). Be very careful when removing the supports and handling the part. 3 - Optional rocket body parts. Both a one piece rocket body as well as a split rocket body (with pin) is supplied in case your printer Z-height cannot print the one piece. My print contains the two piece rocket body, with the seam hidden by the middle rope. 4 - Optional ears parts. I tried printing the individual ears with a raft and still had a print failure due to the smallish base on the ear parts. So, I created a part that contains both ears with braces to hold them in place while printing. 5 - Face contains built-in braces to hold the part down while printing. An optional part without these braces is also supplied. 6 - There are some pieces that may need brims or rafts, use your discretion. When setting up my prints I prefer to be conservative to ensure the least chance of a print failure, especially since the base of many parts are hidden when inserted into another part
