Pudgy Pals – Pudgy Reindeer – AMS Ready

🎄 Pudgy Pals – Pudgy Reindeer – Multicolour AMS Model

Designed & print-tested by Printworks3DStudios (P3DS)

Pudgy Reindeer is the festive sweetheart of the Pudgy Pals collection — a chubby Christmas reindeer holding a decorated cookie, complete with a Santa hat, soft sculpted fur, and cosy winter details.

This model is fully AMS-ready for clean multicolour printing.

All photos shown are from my real 100% test print.
The downloadable file is supplied at 100% scale for reliable printing but can safely be scaled up.

📝 AMS Printing Tips (Please Read)

This model is designed for crisp AMS colour separation, which means colour flushing is completely normal.

• Multicolour AMS prints always generate flush waste during colour changes
• Models with many small details (like icing + boots + hat trim) naturally produce more flush
• Scaling the model up does not reduce colour swaps, but it does improve the overall print clarity
• To reduce waste, print multiple Pudgy Pals on the same plate so they share the same swap events

💡 Ways to Reduce AMS Waste

• Print 2–3 Pudgy Pals at once → same amount of flush, divided across each print
• Reduce the number of active colours (e.g., remove black or white)
• Remember: AMS printing always involves flushing — it’s the trade-off for clean, painted-look prints

📏 Scaling

Model is provided at 100%, but scale testing shows:

• 120% – safe and clean
• 150% – recommended for display (excellent clarity & weight)
• 180–200% – prints well with stronger supports + wider brim

📝 Notes

• Printed on a Bambu A1 using PLA Basic Brown, Black, Red & White
• If printing larger, ensure you have enough Brown and Red filament available
• Estimated time at 100%: ~1 day 0 hours on A1 with AMS (actual slicer data may vary slightly)
• Clean slicing, clean supports, beginner-friendly
• Fully sculpted in the Pudgy Pals style

🧪 Scale Testing

This model has been fully print-tested at 100% scale with excellent results.
For larger display versions, simply increase the scale inside your slicer — no model edits needed.

💡 AMS Ready

All colour regions are cleanly separated for smooth, reliable AMS multicolour printing — just slice and print.
