Christmas Elf Nutcrackers are the perfect way to bring holiday cheer to family and friends!
Features:
Two designs (Alvin and Buddy)
22 inches tall (56 cm)
Friction connectors (no glue required, but you can if you'd like)
Instructions:
There are two elf designs, Alvin and Buddy. There is a print profile for each elf design containing multiple build plates for each group of parts. There is also a common print profile containing parts that are required for either design you choose.
Color changes for the legs (Alvin design), hands (Buddy design), and both hat models are set in the print profiles at the respective layer heights. You'll see the color changes once you Slice plate / Preview in Bambu Studio.
If you're printing from the raw files I've grouped them into folders accordingly. One note is that any files with the _alt suffix are Buddy's variations of certain parts.
Some parts are interchangeable if you'd like to create your own design: hat, neck, belt, gloves / hands, skirt.
Considerations:
Brims are disabled globally in the print profiles. I have most plates set to Textured PEI which works well for me on the Bambu Lab X1C as to where a brim isn't required. Also, using a brim on a Textured PEI plate tends to fuse it to the part. If you know your printer and plates you should be able to decide if you need a brim for certain parts so please consider this when printing. The only part that does allow for a brim in the print profile is the belt buckle of the Buddy design which is set to use a Cool plate. With that said the knees and belt buckle of the Alvin design are also set to a Cool plate because I printed them with Silk PLA which I've had issues with removing on Textured PEI plates.
Connectors:
Size C connectors are used to connect the Boots or Shoes to the base.
Size B connectors are required for both sides of the Knee part (Alvin design), both sides of the Belt (both designs), and both sides of the Neck part (both designs).
