King of Hearts

The King of Hearts, a character from the 1865 book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

The King of Hearts is the husband of the Queen of Hearts. When compared to the Queen of Hearts, King appears to be the moderate part of the Wonderland government. The King quietly pardons many of the subjects the Queen has ordered to be beheaded when the Queen is not looking. This guarantees few people are actually guillotined.

Some supports are required on one part, robe_red

If you have the proper filament colors, no painting is needed.

The assembled model is 150 mm tall and is mostly in proportion to my other Wonderland models.

Enjoy!

Printing and assembly tips

Printing tips

1 - Supports ARE required on one part.
(note: some slicers consider the support angle where 90deg is vertical and other slicers consider 0 deg as vertical. I use my suggestions based on 90 deg as vertical)

*supports: default organic/tree supports

• robe_red

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. Rafts also ensure that the first layer of small parts will have a better fit for my models.

*Out of abundance of caution I used rafts on:

• hand_right
• hand_left

3 - 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 (strong fast drying) and E6000 (tacky slow drying) glues to put this model together. For both glues using a smaller amount is usually better than more glue.

3 - important for all my models, be sure to dry fit all parts before gluing.

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.
