Thought I'd go super cute this time, and couldn't resist adding the cheese which can be held or printed BIG for a prop/stand! The big cheese is 400% in the photo with the 50% mouse.
Since the mouse was designed fairly small at 100%, going smaller then 75% is hit or miss. The smaller you go, the more issues you will have with the arms not sticking well. *pro tip, pop in the arms before you put on the head. The ears are ginormous and will get in your way hahaha 🐭
Included:
- 2, 3, 4 color 3MF. I labeled the plates in a single 3mf file.
- STLs for the arms, head and body
- STL for the cheese
Happy Printing -Dan

Print tips and Info:
STL and 3MF files are included. * If you use the 3mf file, please remember that it is a painted project file for your convenience. You must check your material/printer/settings to make sure it works correctly for your printing project.
I print with, 15% infill/gyroid, .12 or .16 layer height for quality.
As usual, make sure you have good adhesion, especially for the mini versions. A glue stick works or I have switched to using on all my machines... a BIQU Cryopgrip Frostbite adhesion plate.
I successfully test printed between 50% and 125% for this design. I do not recommend smaller than 75% because this model is already incredibly petite. Print at your own risk!
Gradient PLA works well with this model: I have a comprehensive list of Filament I use here: Amazon List

Hi, Do we have messago board like discord. So we can put a idea for model. I'm wanting to know if we can get Pangolin.
Dan
Adhesion would not be a model issue necessarily. If you'd like to upload to troubleshooting on the Discord with your settings we can help out and see what's going on. So much depends on the materials and the settings.

Hi all I am having an issue with bed adhesion on my a1 when attempting to print one of these amazing FLEXI models. If I load something from Bambulabs site I have no issue with adhesion. Any ideas?
Mitchell Priest
Awesome flawless print...
Dan
It's right at the top of the post right underneath the heading. You can also go to the download folder which is in the pinned post when you are logged in under downloads. That is where the files go when I release them
badiain
where is the download link for this one? I can't seem to find it
Judy Cox
Love this print totally awesome
Carrie
The arms printed fine for me. The right ear and under the chin printed a little rough, though.

Will be on the printer as soon as the planters are done. Would you consider turning the mouse head into a planter version?
Mark
This is on a 75% scaled version.
Mark
Anyone having issues with arms staying in ? Scaled arms from 100% down to 75% at 5 % increments and the 75% fits but doesn’t stay in. If I glue them put, then they stay in.
Dan
Can you post your material and settings to the Discord please?
Rob
I having trouble with the heads- A1 and A1 mini. The ears curl up from the overhang and cause crashes. Any Thoughts?
Jeff N
I did I giant monkey at 150% because my pc tanked while it was slicing... I'm game. I only have P1S's so I dont think I can reach it
Sonia Nicol Alvarez
This is super super cute!
Dan
Any takers on a Giant Mouse? 297% is the biggest I can get it ;)
Dan
I am sorry you are having troubles. They do open as many have already printed them. Please email me some screenshots and I will try to help: flexifactory@gmail.com
Jay Tigner
.3MF files aren't opening with color. Any suggestions?

Dan
I put in a few different versions so you don't have to do the four color option :)
