Description

I wanted a Linkle figurine, but the one that I found I wasn't thrilled with, so I created this one.  The prints shown were made with a Core One in PLA and the settings below at 150mm height (100% model size).  The filaments used were Flashforge Bronze PLA, Polymaker's Panchroma Ying-Yang Dual, and Overture's Green-Blue Silk PLA.

Settings Checklist (The Golden Profile)

For successful printing, I used these settings (PrusaSlicer):

  • Orientation: Leaning backwards 45'. This worked best for the bow strings, and reduced layer lines on the front of the print.
  • Layer Height: 0.15mm fixed
  • Nozzle: 0.4mm.
  • Perimeters: 3 (Conditions the model for easier support removal without snapping appendages).
  • Infill: 10% Gyroid (Isotropic strength with no nozzle-crossing collisions).
  • Supports: Organic Style (enable "Structural" branches), Everywhere. This reduces vibrations on tall, thin supports, and Everywhere supports Linkle's belt and compass.
    • XY Separation: 80%.
    • Top Contact Z Distance: 0.22mm. This is optimized for a balance between easy removal and structural anchoring.
  • Bridges: Set Bridge Flow Ratio to 0.95. This works in tandem with the 0.22mm Z-gap and full cooling fan to solidify the "roofs" mid-air, preventing sag.

You can reduce the size of the print below 150mm, but the bow strings become very brittle and prone to breaking.  The pictures were taken at the default 150mm height.
