Printed with 0.16 and 0.2 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 hobby knife

It mostly depends on your seam settings and filament stringing

With a clean print you don't need to do anything

MULTICOLOR

Select LongDog and MULTI files (both or just Black), then drop them in slicer, merge together and select color for each part

MULTI_Black is with eyes, nose and pads

Instead of black filament you can use brown

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

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 easly 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
