I could not find online a bender design that was fun enough for me, so i created one from scratch using solidworks. took me about 12hrs of modeling.
I've tried my best to be as realistic as possible, so geometry is not optimized for support free printing, and some details are quite small so i would not recommend to print it smaller scale (unless you are ready to sacrifice details) or with big nozzle.
This joyful bender is about 33cm tall once assy. center of gravity is above the feet so should be standing up on is own, but i have added a legs mod if needed or preferred.
I would try the below print orientation, 20% infill should work fine:
legs: standing up no support
body: standing up no support
head: standing up with support
arms/cigar: laying sideways with support
fingers/bottle: standing up no support
flame: flat no support required
Cigar and bottle might interfere with fingers, this is to give you freedom of position assy, you might need to use knife/dremel to adjust fit before gluing them.
head/arms/fingers and legs can rotate in the position you like before gluing them.
If you like it, or find it fun feel free to tip me on paypal.me.
Thanks, Enjoy!
