Articulated Minecraft Creeper: Print-In-Place

• From the best-selling video game Minecraft!
• Print-In-Place and fully articulated.
• Optional face pieces included.
• Designed in Fusion 360.
• UPDATE 3/28/2024:
  • Fixed model orientation.
  • Made Head stronger.
  • Default Head rotation +90 deg for single extruder filament swap for new extruded face option (FACE_EXT ver).
  • Modified how built-in supports work, this should allow for easier removal (NO_SUP ver).
  • Added a version that needs support for a better overhang on the upper legs (SUP ver).
• UPDATE 5/27/2024:
  • New version with a standard .3mm tolerance between joints. When I received my A1 and used out-of-the-box settings, I noticed joints were hard to move, so I've added a new version with a .3mm gap to help with breaking apart the joints.

Printing:

• NOTE: This model was designed with a .4mm nozzle in mind, other sized nozzles may not work. Scale at your own risk.
• Printed at .2mm layer height with 20% gyroid infill and 3 walls.
• Use the default orientation.
   
• FOR Creeper_NO_SUP and Creeper_NO_SUP_FACE_EXT
  • Supports are not required, this version will have worse overhangs.
  • DO NOT repair the model; doing so will remove the custom supports, causing the legs to print fully in mid-air.
  • Turn off Detect Overhang Walls.

• FOR Creeper_SUP and Creeper_SUP_FACE_EXT
  • Print using supports.
    • Only needed under floating legs, paint-fill overhang.
    • Tree and Snug work well.

Clean Up:

• After printing, the head and legs should snap apart, allowing them to rotate freely.
  • Be careful not to apply too much pressure when releasing the joints.
• You can also print the optional Creeper face and use super glue to adhere the pieces (for Creeper_NO_SUP and Creeper_SUP).
