Update 12/23/2017: A couple of people have reported that they had a lot of trouble fitting step 2 onto step 1, particularly getting Link's hand around the present. I have modified all of the pieces for step 2 to allow for a bit of wiggle room, which makes the assembly much easier. Thanks to everyone who provided feedback!

This is an 8-Bit Link (as in The Legend of Zelda) hanging ornament made specifically for multi-extruder printers (though I have included a one-piece model for single-extruder machines). It's perfect for the rear-view mirror, Christmas tree, etc.

Please be aware that - though some post-printing assembly is required - the fully colourized version of this model was not designed to be printed in pieces on a single-extruder machine and assembled afterwards. Use link_onepiece.stl to get everything at once in a single colour.

The print in the cover photo was done on a quad extruder Prusa i3 MK2 MMU as follows:

Step 1:

• link_step1_white.stl white PLA (extruder 1)
• link_step1_red.stl red PLA (extruder 2)

Step 2:

• link_step2_brown.stl brown PLA (extruder 1)
• link_step2_flesh.stl pale flesh PLA (extruder 2)
• link_step2_green.stl green PLA (extruder 3)

Assembly:
Because I used more colours than I have extruders, some post-printing assembly is required. I have allowed for some wiggle room between the various parts, so things should fit together fairly easily with little-to-no sanding/clean-up. You basically just have to glue the Link model onto the white backplate and add a string/wire for hanging.

For those of you who have fewer extruders (or who like painting a lot more than I do), I have included link_onepiece.stl, which can be used to print everything at once in a single colour/material, no post-printing assembly required.

When printed at 100% size, the ornament measures approximately 42mm x 48mm.

Happy printing!
