Springy Piggy

Small Pig with springy bodyInculdes keyring modelThere is an original and THICK versionTHICK is with less and thicker coils of the spring - will be more stiff but also stronger and little easier to print---If you want to sell prints of this model - write to meVideo:soonMore flexi models in my profile---3D printing settingsPrinted with 0.2 layer height3 wallsNo infill neededNo supports neededMay be harder to print than typical modelsYou will need a good bed adhesion and a good coolingYou may be needed to separate spring coils from each other after a print. Usually just with your finger nails, in some more rare cases with a thin knife (scalpel)It mostly depends on your seam settings and filament stringingI'm recommending to use 'avoid crossing curled overhangs' option (like in Prusa Slicer) and a Z-hop (Lift-Z)If you will have problems with a nozzle knocking out spring parts you can use Spring-joiner wich will connect spring coils with lines of filament - you will need to cut it with a knife after printI printed all of my pigs with thisSpring-joiner and a Keyring should be merged with base model before printing (select models and choose option from right click menu)---Tips if the model is breakingFilament should be dry and with good self adhesionPrinting with wet filament will make the model more brittle (especially PLA) and Piggy may break when stretchedSilk filaments (especially dual or tripple color) and the ones with particles (like 'marble') may not be a good option - but it all depends on the filamentYou can try printing it slower, bonds between layers should be stronger---
