I used the palettes to do some modeling paste on the emil the elephant ( https://www.printables.com/model/649952-emil-the-elephant-piggy-bank-emil-der-elefant-spar)

These are working really well. I think next time I'll try to get some water on these first before trying to get the paste not sticking to itself or the palette.

While pressing the middle piece into the handle, there was a little bit of swiggle. In the end I used superglue to put these together.

I printed this as one of my first functional prints on my new Bambu Lab X1C.

Printed with 0.6mm nozzle, 0.3 layer height, using Bambu PLA-CF.

Printed nicely, and all parts assemble well. The heads have a certain flex to them that could provide you with some unique effects.

I also took a photo aside my "real" palette knife for comparison.

Nice model, and thanks for sharing!

@seemly Thank you for your Review and Make! Looks good. I noticed on your photos that the heads are not all the way in. In Picture 1 you can see the litte circular bump. This is meant to go inside the head and prevent it from sliding out.

@MrHegger ahh, well spotted! I just gave it an extra shove, and it's now in there good! Thanks!
