Articulated Elephant (Print-in-Place)

Please have a look at my first Planter

Kantig | Collection - MakerWorld: Download Free 3D Models

An articulated Elephant with a total of 24 joints that prints in place without supports. 
No assembly required except for the removal of the 3 supports included in the model (for tail and ears).
About 25cm in length depending on how you measure. Not necessarily anatomically correct, but robust and very fun to play with.

The joints are relatively loose, and if you want it to stand more securely, please have a look at this excellent stand made by mhparsons

!! Version 2 is now available with two magnificent Tusks. Please have a look to see if you need this Elephant as well!!

The complex shape of the first layer requires good bed adhesion, so clean your plate and consider adding a brim.

I have successfully scaled down and printed the model at 70% which probably is close to the limit as the tail becomes quite weak.
For the A1 mini print profile, the model has been scaled down to 85% to fit the build plate.

Please also have a look at the Tiny Baby Hippo which is a quick and easy print!
