Description

I found this fantastic model of a (low poly) fennec fox on the Google 3D Warehouse goo.gl/z5YFi by user Xaya.
The design prints superbly without any alterations and it was exported to STL format via Google Sketchup.

Update: I made a plated version of this fox some time ago and found it to produce much cleaner results due to the lack of overhangs. This is especially useful when printing at a larger scale.

Instructions

- Print with support material.
- Clean finished piece.
- Admire the awesomeness of the Fennec Fox.

*- If printing plated the version, you must use glue the halves together. The top of the tail halves should be cleaned and made smooth for easy joining to the rest of the body.

We're trying to print it, but I get an error message that it's looking for a platform heating. I'm using a Replicator 2, is there something that I need to change in the settings to make it print on this printer?

Hmm, well I doubt the model's issue. I'm no expert with the Replicator 2, but ask the Makerbot Google group, they will gladly help you out.

This is really awesome. I'm having trouble finding good information on "support material" though. So unfortunately, I am unable to print this ):

Very cool though

Are you using ReplicatorG? If so, simply select "Full Support" from the drop-down menu after you click "Generate Gcode". The default settings for support in skinforage should work just fine.

It is my sad duty to inform you that you misspelled 'piece' :(

Very nice looking print.

Yay Fennecs!
