3D Printing Forum

I was hoping to get this printed in time for Christmas, but the printer went down and I have only recently got it running again.
This is twice the size as a Lego man. I am pleased how it's turned out. It's for my 4 year old grandson Max.
I had to have 2 goes at it as I made the model with clearance at the correct scale, when scaled up everything was too slack.
You sometimes have to do things for enjoyment.

Looks great!

Good result for sure!

Hi GrueMaster & LePaul thanks.

I am pleased how it worked out.
I made the models so I didn't have to use supports, the only part that had supports was the Hips.
I printed at 40mm/sec at 0.1mm steps. The Folger FT5 doesn't have nozzle cooling, I had the bed at 60°C for the first layer then dropped it back to 40°C. I don't know if it helped the quality, probably a little bit.
I am going to give the files to a local lad of 10years old that has recently got a 3D printer. I can't remember the make but it's like the Prusa i3 but with bells whistles and cover etc so it's easier to use. He has printed the usual phone cover etc so I though I this would be a good next step, to get a model he has to assemble and do a bit of fitting.
