Talking Molten Snowman

1. Introduction

This melting snowman is a nice decoration to add to your christmas and winter set. He holds a sign in his hand like Wile E. Coyotte to express his despair ;)

Several signs ara available, including the famous “Minchia !” for my Italian compatriots.

Feel free to ask me for other signs or custom accesories.

3. Printing Instructions

1. Body
   • PETG or PLA.
   • Layer Height: 0,2
   • Min 4 perimeters
   • No Support
   • Min 30% infill
   • Infill Pattern: gyroid (safest choice according to my several tests with this model)
   • Enforce min layer thickness to 0.1 and max to 0.2
   • Use variable layer height: adaptive with quality=0,3 and smooth with radius=8
   • Seam Position: Rear
   • Solid infill every 10 layers.
2. Panel/Sign
   • PETG or PLA.
   • Layer Height: 0,2
   • Min 2 perimeters
   • No Support
   • Min 15% infill
   • Infill Pattern: doesn't matter
   • Ironing on topmost  surface (to smooth the letters)
   • Color change @ 2,40mm
3. Glasses and Nose
   • PETG or PLA.
   • Layer Height: 0,2
   • Min 2 perimeters
   • No Support
   • Min 15% infill
   • Infill Pattern: doesn't matter
   • Brim: 2mm outer, 0,3-0,4 gaps (optional but can help)
   • For the Nose only: Print 2 instances, 3cm apart. This will improve cooling. Just use the best one. Or put two noses to your snowman if you really want ;p
4. Other Parts

4. Materials for Assembly (BOM)

• The printed parts
• A bit of glue (cyanoacrylate)

5. Manufacturing and Assembly Instructions

1. Just download the relevant files and print them according to my advices.
2. Clean the parts: remove stringing residues, burrs, brims, etc. But be careful, some parts are fragile (I broke some glasses during my tests just by removing them to quickly from the bed - wait for complete cooling and use a scraper).
3. Assemble the parts by clicking them into their positioned holes/cuts on the body. Use a bit of glue to secure them if needed. 

5. Notes

• G-code file only made for MK3S+. The file contains some custom lines to add a pre-heating before the printing to avoid oozing during the mesh bed levelling. And a timer at the end of the print to buzz a sound once the parts has cooled down. 
• Do not use the g-code file on other machines than MK3S+ ! In any case, I recommend you to slice the .stp files by yourself to make your own g-code files.

Have a nice print !

Last note! I've spent quite a lot of time designing, iterating and prototyping on all my models. Therefore, if you enjoy them, please don't forget to like+download and then rate them, so that I can earn so prusaments to continue ;)
