Description
I made this figure of Bill Murray's character from the film 'The Life Aquatic' for our kid to play with with his boats. I printed it on my Prusa Mini switching colours six times during the print.
Printing:
There are two versions here, one as a single part where you print Steve's face and beard in the same colour (probably pink, white or grey) and where you print the face as a separate part (allowing a pink face and a white or grey beard).
I printed with 4 perimeters, 25% infill, 0.4mm nozzle. The main body I did at 0.15mm layer height standing upright and the face I did at 0.07mm layer height with the nose pointing upwards. I used a brim for both.
Recommended colours/heights
Yellow or Orange - 0 to 2mm
White - 2 to 8 mm
Light Blue - 8 to 25mm
Pink - 25 to 27mm
White or Grey - 27 to 38mm
Red - 38mm +
I glued the face in place using superglue.
