This is wonderful model provided that one can print it successfully. This is my eighth attempt (or ninth, I lost count already) on the model before getting an acceptable result.

The issue with the print is that I don’t have the Fiberlogy 40D flexible filament. I used Overture 95A high speed TPU instead. The problem is with getting the TPU to stick with the PLA. Small blob of TPU often form on the wipe tower and those small blob would be randomly dragged from the wipe tower to attach a random location on the print. If the blob gets large enough and stick at a wrong place, the nozzle can knock off the whole model mid-print causing print failure.

To make the matter worse, the original model has the fingers pointing up (thus I removed 1 star for this wonderful model). All filament changes are done in the late stage of the print, making each failure more painful and wasteful. I changed the print orientation to have the elbow up. Any failure will happen early in the print. This significantly reduces waste. Still you can see the small blobs of TPU knocking off the wipe tower. Lucky that the print is still safe.

I would re-try the print after getting Fiberlogy TPU to see if it would make my life easier on PLA+flexible print.

Thanks for the model. Great way to stop the display sticking out so far off the front.

Thanks a lot! Great design!
As you can see - there is a need for it. :-)

Wonderful model that is easy to print. I am still working on the flexible forearm. Would be great if there is a way to connect the two models together.

Took 23 hours 14 min. Used rectangular grid supports from the build plate only. Cleaned off pretty easily.

Printed in Prusament rPLA.
Not the best photo, but model looks great in person!
Took about 8h45min with the Mk4 and input shaping with a 0.4mm nozzle. (edited)

Great little print! Now I can poke people without risking my own fingers. Printed On my MK3S+ with the MMU2S.

@KirkMakesThing_87740 Try the whole hand ... Im wondering how it will looks like on MK3S+ with the MMU2S.

Great model of a part of the human spine (neck).

Printed with Prusament PLA Vanilla White for the Vertebral bodies and Fillamentum Flexfill TPU (Green) for the Intervertebral discs, which illustrates the difference in flexibility between Vertebral body and Intervertebral disc very well.

Again another great model to print and to use for educational purposes.

Also another great example of the multi material capabilities of the XL.

Printed well, I only have two toolheads but another material for lower support might've made it even better!

Great model! I printed it on my Prusa XL with Prusament PLA Galaxy Black and a 95A TPU. Unfortunately, my first attempt with the Filamentum Flexfill TPU 92A didn't work out for me and I still have some fine tuning to do.

@Nessie Good job. But you must use white filament :-D. Black bones ? :-D
