Ever solve for this? I have had it happen 3 times now. Sent a new file each time. Always at the exact same spot

Magic Storm Art

Has anyone had problems with this printing? Got to 95% and it shifted on the plate. Suggestions?

I’m not really sure. For my mmmini tiger, I used PolyTerra Sunrise Orange, because that’s what I had on-hand. I’m not sure how close it is to a standard tiger orange.

Darryl Kegg

Quick Question - what color filament do you recommend for the standard "tiger orange"? Your post mentions the unicorn and blue hombre, but I want to print a "regular" colored tiger, I just know my Bambu and Overture orange are far too bright. Thanks!

I haven't printed one that big myself, but one of my testers did with a bunny. I think at that scale they applied some heat around the body joints to help soften the inner supports up a little, then they came loose fairly easy. Alternately, you could try using something like a butter knife or similar tool to insert into the joint and break up the inner supports.

Francis Pelland

Any ideas on how to print it at 200%? I can't get the body parts to come part, but all the other joints are fine. In fact the print came apart at the seams but the bottom of the body stayed put, where the supports are

This looks amazing can’t wait to print one or more but ooooo can I toss an idea for a future print maybe🤞🏻a snow leopard 😍I don’t think I’d stop printing those …just a thought. Just saying ur wrk is amazing

Tanya Ledbetter

I just printed this! It came out beautifully!

MatMire_Makes

yup! very soon!

Denise Lindstrom

will there be a tiger magnet

Osmia Confections

That's a masterpiece!!!

TheNocturnist

These are amazing! Already have several printed and it's such a well designed file! Thank you! More "zoo" animals please! maybe a penguin? lol

Chantal

Thank you for thickening up the contact points on the neck! I look forward to printing this design. :)

They elbow joints do articulate. Watch the video in the above post. To free them up, it’s best to hold it close to the joint, then wiggle them a little bit side-to-side before forward and back. The 170% one will probably be a bit tougher. I show it in this video too… https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRoYEWtP/

Stephanie Carfora

Im in love, ive printed one at 100% and the other %170 and both printed perfectly. Are the front legs ment to move at the elbow joint? I was trying to break support but it was very hard so im not sure if its ment to move or not.

MatMire_Makes

I released an update (v02beta) that should hopefully take care of that issue. I only heard from two people who had the head problem and many have already printed it without issue, so I don’t think you should need to worry too much. I’ve printed about a dozen of test prints on the Bambu without any head problems, so it seems like it was pretty rare. The update should help even more. In general I use default speeds on the Bambu, except I slow down outer walls to 60mm/s for most PLA and 30mm/s for Silk/Metallics.

Becky Flippin

I have my first one on the printer now and I'm super excited, but a bit nervous as it nears the head portion from what others have mentioned. Those with a bambu, what speed setting did you have it at? Should I slow her down now?

MatMire_Makes

Hmm. It should be very similar to the bunny head as far as print stability. Could you send me some info like slicer, print setting, and pictures of the fail? From a few angles. Any curling? Also, send your gcode export file if possible. matmire.makes@gmail.com

Chase Palmer

I think this is beautiful, but I can’t seem to get this one to finish. The head comes loose and falls forward at the same spot (about the top of the nose) and the print fails. I have no problems with the jackalope and rabbit (or any other model, really), but I just can’t this one to finish. 😩

MatMire_Makes

You should be able to pick whatever color you want for the separate color sections. And use the fill tool to swap the “orange” sections to the white filament.

Tony Sullivan

Would you be willing to add a Bengal tiger coloration in black and white?

Vinnie Simonetti

Thank you for having a 3MF for both PrusaSlicer and Bambu Studio. I know Bambu has made multi-color even more popular, but there's still a lot of us who use a different system, so we use PrusaSlicer instead.

MatMire_Makes

Oh, I like this idea!

Paul Osentowski

I really like that you provide recommended printer settings. It is possible to add a PDF to the ZIP file so we don't have to go back and find the original posts?

Sarah Scarne

The AMS for my Bambu JUST got here! This will be my first print. Im so excited! I love it!

Melanie and Dave Nevins

Love it! Can't wait to paint one!

Joel

are you going to paint it to show us?

MatMire_Makes

Yup! That should be ready soon.

Michael Rogers

Mine just finished this morning and it looks great!

Denise Lindstrom

Will there be a tiger head magnet

Chantal

Woohoo! I guessed it right. lol Love it!

Toni Castulik

Getting ALL the mileage on that orange filament!

Jessica Hamblen

My daughter would adore an otter too!! We live close to an aquarium & we love to go just to watch them play 💜

Sean Harr

I love that you put one that has the paint done.

David Gorst

Just showed my 5yo daughter, she wants me to print one right away.

Eric J(3DLife)

Well you did it again! I have to get right on this one very soon.

Spideyraccoon

LOVE him!!!! Now my daughter is asking about an otter🤣

CHRIS

YES

MatMire_Makes

We tested it down to around 65% without issue. We also tested at 120% and 200%. The 120% was fine. It took a little more effort to crack the chest joint free. At 200% even more so for the chest and head. For that big one, the tester used a heat gun to help it free up those joints. Then it was all good.

Marvelle Alice

Yay!!! I LOVE tigers!!!

Zarra Van De Kreeke

It’s amazing and I’d love to see a painting tutorial!!

Brandon Davids

Question, I've noticed scaling down the Axolotl head to 70 or up to 120+ causes the pre-supported versions to fail, obviously the scaling messes up the tolerances between the support and the filament on top. Will that happen with this model too, do you know?

Jayden Riesner

omg looks so good we need a long ferret can’t wait to print a lot of these got 3 printers open

Brandon Davids

Love it! I'm going to need to start my own filament production line with the waste on this one!

Herb Veitenhans

Ha! I was way off! Looks good

Pretzel Prints

Amazing as always!

MatMire_Makes

Feel free to paint back some of the colors. I figured better to go beyond, so that people can dial back if they want. This version goes to the max, haha. Still, with the stripes… it’s a long one.
