Flexi Squirrel (Update #2)
🕑 Added 2022-05-30 20:49:38 +0000 UTCHi there,
So it definitely bothered me that some of you were still getting broken front legs. So I studied the hell out of it, intentionally broke a few legs myself, and made more adjustments.
I can't promise there will be no more amputee squirrels, but there should be a lot less.
Also please note that if the legs are really stuck to the build plate and you need to pop them off, I think it's best to knock them towards the body so they don't hyper extend and snap.
Thanks again

I have the powder coated plated and I canβt use any spatulas. Fingers crossed for next try - although I donβt mind gluing while I figure out the settings. Love this cutie pie squirrel πΏ

I am gonna keep trying, the 2 prints have managed have had the front paws broke.
I've had two perfect prints

I think it just depends on how "stuck" they are to your build plate. Flexible PEI, is one that I use, and when cool, everything slides off. But I also know that others have different build plates, and different adhesion requirements and settings. So, if this was a weak spot, it was very generous of you to fix it! Thumbs up!

So far, so good for me too using the original beta version. When i printed on the glass plate, I was careful to undo the legs from the inside to the outside by working the body first with the plastic scraper and making my way out to the feet.

For what itβs worth already printed 4 of these they all came out good. No problems with legs so far!

I found that I need to get my pallete knife under those 2 legs to remove them. This prevents the separation from the top

One tip is in cura use support blocker for just the front legs and make those blockers 100% infill legs only. Chep has a video on this. https://youtu.be/su_m5zV9rvA
