This is a little Minecraft llama model I made that can be printed in place with movable legs. The model is almost identical to the in-game model except for some parts like the neck and legs that needed to be altered a little bit to make the legs movable while still able to print in one piece.
Due to the blocky nature of the model, support structures are required for the neck and chin. However, to prevent supports from generating in the hinge between the legs and the body, making the legs immovable, I used some support blockers in cura. There Might be some better methods to achieve this, but this is how I did it.
