Introducing the 'Prorcupick'... or is it a Pickupine?
This is a relatively small print of a fun little model that is sure to be a great 3D talking point once you've added approximately 150 toothpicks to make him a very prickly little critter. In addition to being a great little model they have a practical purpose as well if you are happy to use them as a toothpick holder... so your Porcupick can happily live in your pantry!
Porcupick's will take a while to print due to the amount of outlines required to make all of the holes in its back (for the toothpicks). Once printed just check all the holes appear clear and free of any filament debris etc. so they toothpicks can be inserted easily approx. 10mm. Inserting the toothpicks will take a while (because there is approx. 150 of them) and take care when doing it as Porcupicks get to be very prickly to say the least.
This is an easy print if precisely sliced and printed on an accurate well set up machine. However, accuracy and detail is important to ensure all the toothpick holes are well formed.
Please refer to the print settings provided as well as the images for additional information.... and post images of your prints in use for other members to see.
