This Friendly Articulated Slug is a remix of thing:4727448 by Isaiah that allows easy printing with default settings by adding a simple brim that connects all the parts on the bottom and just peels off once you finish printing.

I created this after failing to print the default model after 4 tries due to layer adhesion of the tiny bottom parts. I use a heated build plate, but never use additional adhesive. I tested this by printing at 100% scale with 0.4 and 0.25 nozzles with default PLA config on Prusa MK3S+ successfully.

If you are using a typical 0.4 mm nozzle you may want to try turning down 'Extrusion Multiplier' in PrusaSlicer Filament settings to 0.90 (90% flow in Cura). Most people are over extruding which won't affect 99% of prints but ones like this slug which require perfect tuning need to extrude less filament to work correctly.

If you have a 0.25 mm nozzle you should use that and it will work without issues.
