Cute Knitted Elephant - No AMS

 🌟I made this cute little elephant design that looks like it's just been knitted/crocheted! 🌟

Due to the number of polygons required for the model, slicing times may take slightly longer :)

Edit: 15/01/2025:

I just want to say the reception for this model has been incredible and thank you to all those who have downloaded and boosted this model, you support allows me to make more model and really motivates me to keep going!

 I've added a “Quality print profile” that addresses some of the issues users had. The profile does the following

• Uses a variable layer height at around 0.15mm that goes down to 0.08 on the areas that need it the most
• Outer layer on the necessary areas are printed much slower (using modifiers) to allow for less stringing and more detail.
• Added variable line width with Arachne for better print results
• changed to innerwall/outerwall/innerwall, showed better results in testing
• Top z distance increased to 0.23 to allow for easier support removal

In addition to this, matte filament seems to produce the best results.

This seems to produce much cleaner models with the print time increasing to ~ 3h30, due to the nature of fdm 3d printing the top layers won't be perfect but this should make it a lot cleaner! Hope it works for you and Happy printing!
