About this 3D model
I appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as I have not released as many models over these last few months as I typically do. I have had some personal matters to tend to and I have not had as much time to model as I would like. I missed the OG Flipster release for October but I have one I will be working on over the weekend and releasing by Sunday or early next week. Any free time modeling has been poured into this Nutcracker model so I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! With the Holiday season fast approaching I wanted to design and share a festive model so I chose the traditional Nutcracker. Our kids always loved playing with our Nutcrackers growing up but we limited the play because they would tend to break them since the arms didn't move. This Articulated 3D Printed Nutcracker is meant to be played with and looks and stands just like the real thing until you take him off the stand. He has fully articulated joints with movable arms and a removable sword, a working jaw (just like a real nutcracker) and a stand to display him on the mantle. I used 7 colors for this model but I only have a 4 color AMS so I broke up the model and created snap together faces. The 3mf file contains 5 separate plates with all of the models pre-colored. I did enable supports but I removed it in Almost all areas. There are only 2 areas that need support. (1. Left Hand 2. Upper Lip and Nose). I have those supports painted in place so if you use the 3mf file you will be good. When Printed at 100% the Nutcracker stands 5.6" tall to the top of his hat. For all Bambu Studio users or anyone who can use a 3mf file, I recommend using the attached 3mf file. All of the files are precolored and ready to print. For anyone who cannot use a 3mf file all of the stl files are located in the zip file attached. Please ensure you have proper bed adhesion for all of your models. I use a Textured Build Plate with Bambu Labs liquid glue. All of my models are printed on stock Bambu Labs X1C or P1S printers using the standard 0.04mm nozzle and a 0.16mm (Maximum) layer height. I use the 4 Color AMS system to print the models in color. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! Mike
