About this 3D model

Microraptor biter with articulated wings and optional glass eyes!It was the dinosaur that played at being a bird. With four wings, it was one of evolution's first failed experiments to defy gravity.The body and wings are a single piece with no assembly required, print-in-place. When opening the wings for the first time, be careful and unfold them gradually, hinge by hinge, since they have a set range of motion — if forced, the small stoppers can break.4 pieces plus the eyes.Easy to print.Includes STL file and a multicolor version.Use PLA. The bite strength depends on the filament: the stiffer the material, the stronger it bites but it also breaks more easily — the idea is to find a balance to get the most out of the figure. Using high-quality PLA gives amazing results.Print at 100% scale so that the mechanisms work correctly. Designed to be easy to print and durable.Before assembling the pieces, make sure the mechanisms work properly.Includes an explanatory video for assembling the head.Easier assembly: the eyes act as connectors; use a bit of glue.Glass eyes are optional — you would need 12 mm diameter and 4.8 mm thickness.EYE! With some filaments, it can hurt your finger.I’d love to see your prints! 3D printing parametersEYE! Good bed adhesion is very important, as well as using high-quality, well-stored filament.Easy to print, even if it might not look like it.Print at 100% scale so that the mechanisms work properly.4 pieces. Easy to assemble; the eyes act as connectors for the whole head.The first layer must come out perfectly.No supports.No brims.0.4 mm nozzle.0.2 mm layer height.Wall thickness 1.2 mm or more.Infill 15% or more.In some prints I had to set Z hop to 0.4 — I recommend enabling it just in case.The figure should be sturdy.For any problems, don’t hesitate to let me know.
