This is the low poly Panther from W-LAN-Kabel.
His Panther
It's a great looking panther, but there were a lot of comments on how difficult it was to print. Pieces breaking while cleaning and difficult to remove supports. This is all attributed to printing the thing whole and upright on it's feet. The simplest method to print this clean and with minimal supports, and strong legs and tail, is to split the model and print it in halves on its side. With lateral layers instead of vertical layers, the legs and tail are substantially stronger. The only supports required now are for the legs, and they came off clean and easy.
Thanks for the nice Model W-LAN-Kabel.
Update: by request, I've uploaded Left, Right, and Pegs all separate so you can print them one at a time.
