Have a very Merry Christmas with this easy to print Reindeer with articulated legs ~ no glue or supports required!

The deer's body has flexible legs which allow it to lie down, stand or get ready to pounce once the model is removed from the build-plate. The body and head are printed separately to allow for more colors using just one AMS, and fit together with a friction fit.

A couple notes on printing:

• I would recommend using 0.12mm layer height for a more detailed finish (and smoother motion), but if you want to save on filament with a multicolor print I had also had success with 0.16mm.
• I would recommend using the color template provided, as ensuring all parts are the right color in the slicer can be a bit time consuming.
• You might notice a warning pops up with the body regarding floating regions ~ don't worry! The model prints fine and these are just an artifact from small parts of the design.
• Feel free to use the ‘scale’ tool in the slicer to make the models bigger or smaller. The provided STLs are around double the size of those on the build profile, and were scaled down in the Bambu slicer.

Feel free to check out my TikTok for a video on how the model is made/printed.
