Can you disclose what size nozzle you're using and what material? I'm having trouble with getting mine to articulate, even with a little "help" at the joints. I'm using a lulzbot mini. I LOVE this and want them to work for me. Thanks!

agepbiz:

Thanks! 0,4mm nozzle and standard PLA filament. If the joints get fused it is usually a sign of overextruding. Lower your feedrate multiplier

Trish:

Thanks for the info! I'm using PLA. I have adjusted some of my settings and I'm getting there. Unfortunately I only have a 0.5 mm nozzle and I'm not sure I'll get it to work until I get one. I'll post pictures when I get it right! Thanks again!

agepbiz:

Yeah, 0.5mm might be a problem. This is supposed to be printed at 0,1mm layer height, not sure how well a big nozzle will do that. Yes, please post pictures when you get it right!

Beautiful Project, Congratulations! I can't print the digger well, I tried various parameters ... can someone give me some printing advice? Thank you

agepbiz:

I recommend slow printspeed, 30mm/s. 0.1mm layer height with 3 walls/perimeters. Make sure you use a good quality filament and optimal print temperature for that filament

I have printed the egg; however, it won't open. What is wrong?

For any one having trouble printing the excavator (and maybe other figures): The STL has some issues, so you should auto-fix the STL first (I use Prusa Slicer for that, which creates a .OBJ file which you can then use). Second, make sure you use a brim and set perimeter count to 3 as agepbiz recommends
