Articulated Aggron

Aggron#306:

“Aggron is surprisingly protective of its environment. If its mountain is ravaged by a landslide or a fire, this Pokémon will haul topsoil to the area, plant trees, and beautifully restore its own territory.” ~Sapphire Version Pokedex entry

This Gen3 beast is a fan favorite and one I've been wanting to model for a while. The model has rotating shoulders, elbows, legs, neck, and a flexi tail! The original goal was to print it all as 1 piece like the Lairon flexi, but it would have resulted in a ton of purge waste and rough finishes on support interfaces. Instead, I split the model into the main body, arms, legs, and head which can be glued together. All parts are oriented to maximize strength and reduce purge waste and support interface blemishes. These parts are arranged in a few different Print Profiles ranging from high-purge single-plate to ultra-filament-saver which has some parts further split up to reduce waste even further. I used Bambu Lab PLA Silk+ Silver and PLA Matte Nardo Gray for the majority of the print  and I really like how it turned out.

I hope this is as fun for you to print as it was for me to design!
