Print Recommendations & Profiles

NOTE: The “strings” on Chewbacca's weapon, the Bowcaster-inspired weapon, were too thin and brittle when 3D printed “in place”. They are printed separately as 2 PCS of ø1.75 mm rods.

The Chewbacca face: is oriented facing up and prints with variable layer height and the setting “adaptive” enabled.

The mounting box: is oriented on its edge to optimize surface finish and reduce filament waste due to overhangs.

*Supports: Organic "paint-on" supports are pre-configured on the slanting side for stability.

*Adhesion (Crucial): Due to the long, narrow footprint and 3-wall thickness, internal tension can cause the part to lift around layer 30 (~6mm).

The Fix: While brims were insufficient in testing, a 3-layer Raft solved the issue perfectly. This profile uses a raft to maximize success with minimal filament impact.

Alternative Option: If you still experience lifting, consider printing the box standing flat on its bottom (included in .3mf file). This will require more supports for the overhangs but provides a larger footprint.

Note on Warping

If you choose to slice this yourself: be aware that the mass of 3+ walls on a narrow base creates significant shrinkage force as the PLA cools. I highly recommend sticking with the (3-layer) raft settings provided in the 3.mf to prevent the ends from overpowering the bed adhesion.
