Articulated Ducks in a Row

Articulated model of mama duck and ducklings following behind.
When stretched it's approximately 29cm long.
Prints with minimal supports that are easy to pull off without tools.

NOTE: Some users reported this model's links between ducks not being strong enough for their purpose. I made a new version that has larger links that are perhaps not as well integrated with the shape of the ducks, but are considerably stronger.

If you create a new profile, please note that the default profile includes a support enforcer primitive under the beak of the last duckling. Without this support the slicer fails to auto-generate a support structure and the beak will show print defects.

If you need to re-create this volume in Bambu Studio:

– Select the ducks and right click to open the context menu. Select Add support enforcer → Cylinder

– When this prompt appears click OK.

– A transparent blue cylinder will appear in the scene.

– Click and drag it under the beak of the last duckling.

– Click the scaling tool in the toolbar.

– Scaling handles appear round the cylinder.

– Shrink the cylinder until it's above the flexible link but covers the beak.
