Originally from Thingiverse (thing:584), public-domain, now optimized for 3mm thickness with slots measuring approximately 3.01mm (thing:3935261 CC:Attribution). I changed some parts so the foot fit better.
Remember, this is a puzzle, and a huge part of the fun is figuring it out yourself. So try using the instructions or numbers only if you get really stuck. I had a blast experimenting with different combinations until I was happy with the result, and I even challenged my friends to see if they could find a better configuration for the abdomen.
To make assembly easier, numbers have been added inside the 3MF files (go along with the numbers, add nr1, then 2, and so on).
Please note that this model is no longer suitable for really stiff materials (like metal cutting or CNC laser projects), as some parts need to be bent.
If you experience any difficulties putting the pieces together (elephant-foot or calibration issues with your printer)
-> simply scale only the Z-axis (disable uniform-scale) in your slicer down to 2.95mm or even lower. For assembly. You have to put together 3a, b and c together separately and then attach it to the model.
I put the abdomen from the biggest to the smallest, but feel free to experiment with different arrangements.
