Buffalo
Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2016 2:53 pm
My wife's bank's mascot is a buffalo, so she wanted one for her desk.
Used this design from Thingiverse at 150% and printed with eSun Brown PLA+. Sliced with Simplify3D and auto generated supports. Infill was 30%.
When removing supports, I broke a leg off and the tail in the design was flimsy and broke. I glued the leg back on fine, but the tail just was too heavy on the end to establish a bond. So I took a sewing machine needle and bored a hole into the tail with superglue to hold, then cut the needle off about one cm to fit up into the tail stump. This held it in place and allowed the glue to set, as well as give it some extra support.
Very happy with how it turned out.
