Ladybug gets her "Spots-on" and stands on her own in a natural pose. A fun, well balanced model that demonstrates how modifiers in PrusaSlicer can be used. A five color print designed for the Prusa MMU2s.

GCode

I included a GCode file for the Prusa MMU2S that I recommend if your PET filament tips have long strings after retractions. There are two instances because it makes sense to print a second copy in case of print errors. This file implements a user pull labeled 'Dribbling' that eliminates the long strings on tips. Leave a comment for Prusa if you can see the difference and experience fewer issues. Maybe they will incorporate it into the release if enough people verify that it is an improvement.

Final Note

You have to dig these out of the supports and may break the model in that process so be careful.

How I Designed This

Model in Blender with Armature

Technical Details

"Spots-on"

presented a challenge and after a lot of trial and error I came to use embedded spheres as as modifiers in Prusa Slicer.

History

Inspired by: Marinette Miraculous Ladybug"
Origin: Sketchfab - kotbfg

Blender 2.8

Blender is an amazing tool enabling me to shorten legs and arms and create a set of 3D objects for defining multicolor prints.

Blender also has amazing tools for manipulating meshes including fully animating them. There is an online tool, Mixamo.com, that allows you to upload a model, rig it, review hundreds of animation sequences with your model, and download the ones you like for use in your projects. A standing pose got me very close to the final model presented here.
