Whoa whoa whoa isn't this just a pallet swap of your Bigfoot Card?  Why yes.  Yes it is.  I offer no apologies.  

But if I've learned anything from playing Dragon Warrior on my original NES approximately 40 years ago, just changing up the colors of something can make it a completely different monster.  Right?  

This one I like to print in blue or silk blue, then plain ol' vanilla for the top layers.  Just like Bigfoot, I set a filament change around layer 11 - though this may differ depending on your slicer's settings.  In Cura, go to Extensions → Post Processing → Modify G-Code and select Filament Change.  

Using Nakozen's awesome kit card tutorial, these cards print out quite snug and nicely if you stay cognizant of your printer's settings. And don't forget, a good pair of flush snips and a little super glue go a LONG way in keeping these models from falling apart, though the pictures I've attached are all fitted together with no glue at all (so yeah, it's totally possible).

I've printed my kit cards on both an Ender 3 and an Elegoo Neptune 3+ with more or less identical print settings: 

0.2 Layer Height 

2 Walls 

Outside to Inside Wall Ordering 

A fairly hot build plate (70 degrees C in my case) 

NO SUPPORTS 

and a Skirt 

Also, slow and steady wins this race. I typically print around 45 mm/s for the best results. 

And if you have time, enabling Ironing will give you a spiffy surface finish.
