Snoopy Mailbox Topper (Improved)

I tried to print the snoopy letterbox by jangy but it had a lot of issues - platforms were added to each part (I suppose for ease of printing) but the cutouts for the mailbox peak didn't line up so once printed the pieces were way off. It also just looks kind of funny with those visible platforms for each part (which I suppose you could paint to disguise). So I went back to the source material...

The problem with the snoopy by reddadsteve is the pieces are designed to fit into cutouts in his doghouse (which works a lot better in that application) The solution was to remove the bases off the pieces and add the cutout for the peak (45 degrees).

I printed this out of PET-G at 400%, filled each part with sand before gluing them together and set it on the new roof I made for my well pump house. The body and head will need supports at the base -- the head has almost contact with the bed so basically a raft, and the upper body has a large flat area that needs to be supported. The good news is you won't really see the underside after so the supported areas don't have to look great. I also printed the whole thing with fuzzy skin to make it look like fur. Avoid the temptation to print the ears on the flat backs because they won't look as nice, print them standing up on their roots.

The original unmodified eyes and nose are included for convenience.
