4. Assembly Instructions
The model is designed in two pieces to avoid the need for supporting structures. This allows you to achieve a flawless printing surface with your finest printing profile.
A snap-fit structure is designed to help the two parts join together easily and precisely. Glue is not necessary for the assembly, but there is space for glue if you want to ensure a permanent joint.
If you printed with an older profile, the hooks might be thinner and easy to break. Please be gentle when assembling the two pieces. This issue has been fixed with the 2024/01/02 updated profile.

Have fun printing your own little dino🦖! Don't forget to share a picture of your dino in the comment!
Additional notes:
If you don't have AMS for multicolor printing, you can remove the eye components from the printing profile. The model will still print fine, and you can then use a pen or marker to draw the eyes afterward.

I was using PLA Tough for the body structure print, so I didn't encountered this breaking issue in the past. One day I tried PLA Basic for the body and I noticed this issue might be very common as some comments mentioned (So I found out PLA Tough is a little bit different from PLA Basic indeed LOL). Thanks so much for sharing your printing experience!

I broke up the attachment and just glue it, but its really nice model. I love it!
Printed on bambulab A1 with AMS lite, default settings. Low wasted material, fast print.
Hi @sheikoner , I've updated the design, adding thickness and chamfers for the snap structure. The new design should help prevent the attachment from breaking. If you're printing more, please try the new print profile and let me know if you still encounter this issue.

Really cute! Instead of the eyes being a different color I modified it to just have a hole, it printed really well. On my print there were some rough spots that was mostly becomes I printed it in ludicrous and my filament was humid.
