This is Fine Dog Remix

March 21, 2023
Description
I work in the tech industry and this meme/comic, much like everyone else, has become a visual representation of the chaos we are subjected to on the daily. I had sought out to make something special for my coworkers and decided I would make my own take on this piece. Here are the details of the changes I made as I wanted it to more closely resemble the comic...
EDITS MADE TO DOG:
- Added smile
- Changed nose some
- Added the black strip to his hat
- Changed his eye shape
- Changed his arms, making them more natural
- Added hands to rest in his legs like in the comic (also helps with better printing)
NEW ADDS:
- Created a new base with cut-outs of the individual pieces, which allows for pressure fitting of printed pieces
- Created new speech bubble that is the same shape and font used within the original comic
- Added more flames and changed composition for more visual impact
I printed this with a Bambu Labs X1 Carbon printer, using a single AMS (allows for four color prints). There were changes that I made to the slicer, but I won't get into those details as those items will vary greatly on experience/slicers used.
I have multiple files that will allow for MMU (multi-material) prints. Note that you may need to separate shells within your slicer to do so.
FILAMENT NOTES:
I used PLA for all pieces (details and links below); also used clear PET-G as the top layer on supports for the flames which allowed for very beautiful bottom layers.
- BASE: Black Glitter PLA
- Speech bubble: Natural (clear), Black, and White PLA
- Chair/Table/Hat: Brown PLA
- Mug: Stone Marble PLA
- Dog: Tan, Black, White PLA
- Flames: Yellow and Orange PLA and clear PET-G for top layer of supports
ADDITIONAL PRINTING POINTERS:
- Speech Bubble: In order to achieve the stick to remain clear and the speech bubble outline to not lose it's shape, I had to actually leave the pieces separated within the Bambu Labs slicer but place them slightly on top of one another. So I have included the separate speech bubble pieces in the event other slicers have the same experience.
- Fire was printed laying down, with the above note of using PET-G as the top layer on the support.

ASSEMBLY NOTES:
- The various flames are inserted via one corner first then pushed and rocked down via the other side in order to pressure fit into their respective places.
- I used Gorilla Glue Super Glue to permanently adhere the pieces in place AFTER test fitment. Placed just a couple of drops/small line in each respective hole within the base as well as a small dot on the bottom of the mug to adhere it to the table.
