Dino Flintstone

The Flintstones are one of my favorite childhood cartoons.

Dino was modeled in Blender, sliced using Simplify3D and printed in ABS on a FlashForge Creator X.

If you have the proper filament colors, no painting is required.

The model is 24cm tall.

Enjoy, and I hope you have a "Yaba Daba Do" time printing this!

Note: All parts were modeled from scratch except for the tongue. Dino's tongue was so close to Eddie's tongue (Thingiverse model 457259) that I saw no reason to improve on perfection. Credit for the tongue is duly noted.

3D PRINTING SETTINGS Printer: FlashForge Creator X Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: .2mm Infill: 10%

Notes: Only a few pieces require some very minor supports and a raft. The majority of pieces do not require either. Refer to the notes below for details. I print all my models using 2 shells.

Colors Black: eyes hair spot1 spot2 spot3 spot4 spot5

Purple: body head armr arml

White: eye_whites tag

Beige/Pink/Skin (I used a light beige): mouth nose

Blue: collar

Red: tongue

Extra notes for printing Pieces requiring minor supports around the low curves at the base: armr, arml, mouth.

Pieces that may require a raft or brim (I use a brim): tongue, head. I did not use a brim on the nose, but you may needed one.

Assembly Assembly is fairly straight forward, refer to the following picture. I've listed a detailed step by step process below if guidance is needed.

*be sure to clean off any excess brim from the first layer if you use a "squish factor" for adhesion to the bed.

-Glue armr and arml to the body -Insert and glue the spots as per the diagarm -Hook the tag through the collar -Insert and glue the collar to the body -Glue the mouth to the head -Glue the tongue to the mouth -Glue the nose to the head, resting on the bridge of the mouth -Insert the eye_whites, making a note of left and right (depressions for the eyes face toward the middle) -Glue the eyes to the eye_whites. making a note of left and right eyes (there is a slight angle on each eye that should face towards the middle so that the eyes rest closer to the middle) -Insert and glue the head into the collar. -Glue the hair to the head. After careful trimming of any first layer brim, the hair should fit into the head.
