For best results, print the cape at 0.12 mm layer height.

The cape is designed to be very thin, only about 3 layers thick, but it can still be mounted onto General Grievous by placing it around the neck area and pressing it down with the head.

Because the cape is thin and flexible, it may try to spring back to its original flat shape after mounting. 

To help it keep a more natural curved shape, I recommend mounting the cape onto Grievous first, then gently heating the sides where the cape creases.

You can use a hairdryer, hot air gun, or carefully use a regular lighter. 

Heat the cape only slightly, just enough to soften it, then shape it into position and let it cool. This will help the cape retain its final form better.

 

Be careful not to overheat the plastic, as it can warp or melt.
