Articulated Giraffe (Print-in-Place)

A print-in-place articulated Giraffe with 15 joints. Requires no assembly except for the removal of a designed support for the tail. The loose joints make for a fun toy. Robust enough to survive playing with my kids for hours.

Printed with 0.2 mm layer height without support and no brim (see more details below). However, this print requires good bed adhesion so clean your bed before printing to reduce the risk of parts coming off and/or use a brim.

If scaling, I would not recommend going lower than 75% as joints will become too weak and might also fuse. Please comment with the results if you printed a smaller version. Enjoy!

My print settings: PLA+ 65°C bed temp 225°C nozzle temp, Layer height 0.2 mm, First layer 0.14, Wall generator Arachne, Wall loops 3, Detect thin walls, Sparse infill density 10%, Sparse infill pattern Rectilinear, Speeds <150mm/s, No supports, No brim.
