Final Fantasy XIV FF14 Carbuncle Summoner Pet

This is the exclusive pet for Summoners and Scholars in Final Fantasy XIV, the Carbuncle. It looks quite good on its own, and it would be great if it could be paired with other in-game models

The entire body has been split into parts, and the eyes and forehead are also separated. The first plate is the normal version, the second plate is the fluffy version with proper shielding. It is recommended to try large sizes, otherwise, it might look strange

Regarding printing, several versions have been modified, and there aren't many issues to consider. The body only requires two supports. The ears were originally split in the blue version shown in the display images, but this was changed to cutting them from the back of the head in the red version, which sacrifices a bit of aesthetics but results in a higher success rate and better assembly experience. The current ears require no supports. It's best not to reduce supports for the tail, otherwise, it's very easy to fail

Regarding assembly, the tolerance is set in the slicer, and the actual model has 0 tolerance, so you can freely scale it to any size and always maintain a 0.05mm tolerance. The current assembly is relatively tight, but thankfully no super glue is needed. Note that once the eyes and forehead are installed, they are almost impossible to remove. It's also best not to repeatedly disassemble and reassemble the tail and ears, as they are easily damaged

Regarding colors, to save trouble, I directly printed one plate with white PETG and colored it manually with markers. In reality, you can color print the eyes and forehead. For the body, if you want the same effect as mine, I still recommend manual coloring. Splitting parts like this is indeed troublesome, and the same goes for the belly part. The current effect is already quite good, and I don't think it's necessary to pursue perfection in this regard

If it's popular, I'll consider making more Final Fantasy XIV content models
