Pringing Tips

Printed with 0.16 and 0.28 layer height
2-3 walls
No supports needed

May be harder to print than typical models
You will need a good bed adhesion and a good cooling
Using a glue on a bed plate is recommended

You may be needed to separate spring coils from each other after a print. Usually just with your finger nails, in some more rare cases with a thin knife (scalpel)
It mostly depends on your seam settings and filament stringing

MULTICOLOR

Select SpringyCow and MULTI files, then drop them in slicer, merge together and select color for each part
You don't need to use all the files if you don't want to. You can print for example without Eyes-Sparkles or Ears

SpringyCow - White / Brown / Black
Ears - Red / Pink / Brown
Eyes-Base - Black or dark colors
Eyes sparkle - White or very light color
Hooves - Brown / Black
Horns - White / Brown / Black
Nose - Red / Pink / Brown
Patches - White / Brown / Black (depending on body color)
Tail - Brown / Black

Multicolor files are with a 'frame' that helps with models aligning
DO NOT try to 'repair' the models - frame will not be printed and it's not causing any problems with slicing

If you will have problems with a nozzle knocking out spring coils you can use Spring-joiner (merged with model) wich will connect spring coils with lines of filament on first layer - you will need to cut it with a knife after print
I printed mine without Spring-joiners but I used some glue on the bed plate

Tips if the model is breaking

Filament should be dry and with good self adhesion
Printing with wet filament will make the model more brittle (especially PLA) and model may break when stretched

Silk filaments (especially dual or tripple color) and the ones with particles (like 'marble') may not be a good option - but it all depends on the filament

You can try printing it slower, bonds between layers should be stronger
Lowering layer height also helps
