Dan I am printing your colored version I noticed that the purge tower is solid. Is there a way to change it. Bamboo x1 carbon printers. Everything else I print is a hollow tower Newbie here.
Been having the same issues with the feet, also made worse by my own choice to try a new PETG rather than my usual PLA+... just got myself a new PEI print bed and hoping to get some better results.
Dan
It certainly isn't easy :)

ty would never alter prints as im not that artistic
Dan
He is licensed by Flexi Factory and can be resold as a print. Not modified though.
Raymond Plummer
Will carry on practicing. :)
Shannon Patterson

Shannon Patterson

Dan

Raymond Plummer

I love this guy! We’ve been trying to print him on our vyper with the same filament, but the print doesn’t come out as clean as shown. Any tips?!
nice file
Paul Gettings
you had already answered my question , thanks
Paul Gettings
any idea on what the smallest working print would be please ?
I was able to get solid prints at 75% by bumping up the temp to 65° on the heat bed and 215° the first few layers of the print. I also slowed the speed down to 20mm/sec for the first two layers. I used tri-color silk PLA that I couldn’t get to work on the Astronaut at anything less than full size (his face shield wouldn’t close), but it worked great for the alien at 75%.
Very cool, this is a great compliment to the astronaut! Unfortunately my printers hate this print when it's scaled down any, I've successfully printed 2 at 100% scale but only 1 of 4 at 75% as they come loose for me when doing the fingers. I'll have to add on a brim as much as I hate to as I don't like the edges after removing them.
