The file 'Oscar Award UPDATE (2021) 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 20.7MB.
Redesigned. Improved feet to base connection as it was a major point of failure. Thicken the base to improve success rate. Printed in silk pla at .4 nozzle. Ignore the tips if you print in normal pla & you dont upscale. If printing normal size with pla, use your own settings
TIPS (for silk PLA && upscaled to 175%):
-First layer should be printed with the most plastic possible (200% at 50 speed).
-I had to set the bottom solid layers at 25 (or the feet will not stick to the base and fail). I tried 3 bttom solid layers, to save material, but it failed.
-Where the hotend starts for each layer, IS VERY IMPORTANT. I believe my setting was (110x, 90y). Change from (find the fast point for fastest print) => (begin each layer closes to these coordinates). Try to have the hotend start each layer in the middle of the back of the figure. Once the print reaches the lower elbow, this will be the highest point of failure.
-Upscale by 75% to be real life size (100% => 175%)
-Print the shell at 5 layers. It will reduce rate of failure (I tried 3 layers with many failures)
-Infill can be between 10-20%
-Took about 8 hours.
-If there is blobbing, try printing from inside out or vise versa.
I went thru about 25 failed prints. This print will require you to use excess material or you risk failure.
