Minions Series: Figurines, Plush Toys, Piggy Banks, Pen Holders, Humidifiers, Storage Jars

Before printing, please ensure your filament matches the print profile.
Please ensure your build plate has good adhesion. If the build plate is greasy, it is recommended to wash it with dish soap and rinse with clean water, then spray with Povidone K30 solution or other glue suitable for your build plate.

The Story

I promised to make a Minion humidifier for Lao Er Hu last autumn, but I kept procrastinating until now. Acquiring the Bambu Lab P1Sc on October 23rd reignited my passion for 3D printing. For the past two months, I've been printing almost daily—useful items, useless items, all sorts of experiments. Last weekend, I started the Minion project, and it took me about two days to design the model and conduct print tests. These last couple of days I've been designing complementary toys. The launch event is underway, so I'm releasing the completed parts now; I will gradually update the other peripheral accessories in the future

Model Introduction

There are currently three versions of the Minion:

• Standard Minion
• Tall Minion
• Cyclops Minion

They are available in 100% size and a 50% reduced size:

A single Minion consists of the following parts:

• Pants
• Body
• Glasses Arms
• Glasses Frame
• Eyeballs
• Cap

Pants Printing Techniques

Enabling supports is recommended, selecting the back for the Z-seam

Body Printing Techniques

Tree support is recommended, with a threshold angle of 60 degrees, generated only on the build plate. Select the back for the Z-seam

Head Accessories

The head accessories can be omitted if used as a pen holder.

The head accessories currently include standard and piggy bank modules. The piggy bank module is 4mm wide and can be complemented with small decorations to enhance its appeal.

Body Accessories The configuration includes the following models; eyeballs require separate configuration

Eyeball Printing Techniques

Eyes are available in two-eyed and one-eyed versions. Multi-color printing is recommended for the two-eyed version for optimal results.

Three versions of the one-eyed option are provided:

• Complete version: Multi-color printing is slower (approximately 3+ hours), extremely wasteful of filament, and not recommended.
• Separate eyeball and eyelid version: Eyelids require supports and are not recommended.
• Simplified version: Faster print speed; recommended.

The body can be modified to purple, resulting in a purple Minion

Is Glue Necessary?

• Assembly is possible without glue
• Applying glue to the body and pants can help secure them and prevent slippage
• Applying glue to the eyeballs can prevent loss during handling

TODO

• Humidifier module will be released soon
• Other peripheral decorations
