Printstream Cosmetic Parts Set for Foxbat

“As large as it is powerful, the Foxbat is an iconic pistol that is difficult to master but surprisingly accurate at long range. It has been custom painted with a stark black and white design and finished with pearlescent highlights. WHITE_1; BLACK_1; PEARLESCENT_1;”

WARNING: These parts, like any other multi-material model, will invariably be more expensive, take more time, and generate more waste than solid-color ones. Do not expect this set of files to be cheap or efficient, but instead to be eye-catching and beautiful. 

That being said, I've done a lot of work to keep this design's extra expenditures to a minimum, and the final design should use only around 250g more filament than a solid color Foxbat with the same strength settings. 

Printing:

The modified parts are all arranged in specific orientations that I have found to be a good balance between aesthetics and cost efficiency in a single .3mf file and have been pre-painted with their proper colors and prepped with Sillybutts' recommended settings. Unfortunately, due to a combination of the complicated nature of the various grip options and limited available time, there are no accented grips for this model.

All parts will print clearly and relatively cleanly with a 0.4mm nozzle in their default orientations. A print bed size of 256 square millimeters or larger is required to print the top slide.

It is worth noting that I have adjusted the support interface top and bottom Z distances and the elephant's foot compensation distance to what personally works well for me. Instead of blindly using mine, I highly recommend you use the value in those settings that has historically worked best for you - every printer is different.

For the other parts:

• Print all remaining parts in both the Foxbat's “Orange Parts” and “Green Parts” filesets in white. (Excludes Muzzle, SidePanel_L, SidePanel_R, both FrontBlocks, and the TPull files)
• Print all the parts in the “Black Parts” fileset and your desired grip fileset in black.
• Print the TPullFront and TPullBack in either white (for aesthetics) or orange (for safety).
• Print the TriggerBar in either black (for aesthetics) or orange (for safety). I heavily recommend the latter, but it's up to your judgement and potentially your local authorities.

Assembly/Post-Processing:

Final assembly is fairly similar to standard. Do not add the ram to the back of the TopSlide during the sub-assembly. During final assembly, remove the barrel and place the slide over the notches in the GripTop through the gaps in the slide's embedded rails and gently push it into place over the internal parts before replacing the barrel. Then, add and affix the ram to the rear of the blaster, and continue assembly as normal.

Some overlaps of main and accent color may occur during printing due to random error, especially on the thinner lines and on the lettering. Black Sharpie or alcohol marker works well to touch up the blaster and hide encroaching white filament, though one should be wary of markers' tendencies to bleed through layer lines and into the print interior. Black in the white was not a problem I experienced, but you could probably solve it with a vibrant white marker or paint, or perhaps white-out. As always, stringing and stress whitening can be taken care of with a careful blowtorching. Lastly, small bits of black or white filament hanging off the edges of the decals can be carefully trimmed off with flush cutters.
