Printing and assembly tips

Printing tips

1-No supports are required. and I printed all the pieces without a brim or raft.

2-The parts should fit nicely when printed cleanly or with a slight first layer squish.

..

Assembly tips:

1-The left/right black eye pieces are interchangeable. I post all my parts exactly as modeled, even if they are duplicated.

2-Position the ruff on the body, noting that the ruff should sit very comfortable over the shoulders.

3-**Important: the mouth_top part is printed flat but the roof of the mouth is curved. Glue the mouth_bottom to the head first, then try and bend/flex the mouth_top piece so it fits the roof of the mouth a bit. You may need to hold this piece up while the glue is setting.

4-The tongue fits into a slight groove in the mouth_bottom piece. The mouth_black piece should be simply centered left/right and placed as far back on the mouth_top piece. The points of the mouth_black piece should point forward. I wanted to keep the mouth_top piece as thin and flexible as possible, so no indent was added for the mouth_black piece

5-Refer to the assembly diagram for putting the model together. The model is meant to be glued.
