Quick Draw McGraw

Quick Draw McGraw is the title character of the Quick Draw McGraw Show, an American animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions

Quick Draw was usually depicted as a sheriff in a series of short films set in the Old West. His character was well-intentioned, but somewhat dim. His main catchphrases were "Now hold on there!" and "I'll do the thin'in' around here and don't you forget it!" Also if he got hurt he would often say "Ooooh that smarts!" One of the main running gags in the shorts was him accidentally shooting himself with his own six-shooter.

No supports are required. One piece is split in half for easy printing. An optional single part is provided if you want to print it as a single part with slicer supports.

The assembled model is 270mm tall and is in proportion to his companion characters, Yogi Bear and Boo Boo, that I have previously released.

Enjoy!

Printing and assembly tips

Printing tips
1 - No supports are required. One piece, tail_left and tail_right, is split in half for easier printing. When glueing the tail together, the seam disappears, however an optional single part tail is also included.

2 - There are some pieces that may need brims or rafts, use your discretion. When setting up my prints I prefer to be conservative to ensure the least chance of a print failure, especially since the base of many parts are hidden when inserted into another part.

*I used brims on:

• eyebrows
• hand_left
• hand_right
• kerchief
• body_top
• body_middle

3 - The eyebrow parts are very small, so printing extra copies might be a good idea if you drop and lose them.

4 - When removing parts from the printer bed, it's a VERY good idea to place left/right parts into separate containers to help with the assembly process. Sometimes the difference between the left and right parts is very small but it is still worth keeping track of them and assembling them in their proper place.

Assembly tips:

1 - Take your time gluing the model together and enjoy the process. Give some thought into which parts to glue together as groups and then gluing the groups together. Let the glue for each group set completely before combining groups.

2 - I used 3D Gloop and E6000 to put this model together. I am not affiliated with 3D Gloop but have experimented with different glues for my models and have found that this glue is a great option for my models. Each type of glue has different pros/cons and I found that 3D Gloop was far easier to use than superglue (for me). The E6000 sticky glue that I also use allows more time to position parts and is still the best for smaller parts. 3D Gloop covers the middle ground for me and really works wonders. It leaves enough time to set, so parts can be positioned correctly and it dries fast enough to hold awkward parts without the need for taping. I used the PLA version that comes in a tube. For both glues using a smaller amount is usually better than more glue.

3 - The model is straightforward to build, however the eyebrows are quite small and require a bit of patience. The dents for the eyebrows are to be used as a guide and the eyebrows do not need to sit flush.

4 - Refer to the assembly diagrams in the pictures section as well as the uploaded pictures for putting the model together. The model is meant to be glued.

Do not hesitate to ask questions, feedback is essential to making better models.
