{"data":{"model":{"id":"923184","slug":"elephant","name":"Elephant","authorship":"author","club":false,"excludeCommercialUsage":false,"price":null,"eduProject":null,"ratingAvg":"5.0000000000","myRating":null,"ratingCount":14,"description":"

An articulated elephant with a total of 24 joints that prints in place without adding supports.
No assembly required except for the removal of the 3 supports included in the model (for tail and ears).
About 25cm in length depending on how you measure.
Not necessarily anatomically correct, but robust and very fun to play with.
The complex shape of the first layer requires good bed adhesion, so clean your plate and consider adding a brim.

The joints are relatively loose, and if you want it to stand more securely, please have a look at this excellent stand made by mhparsons.

I have successfully scaled down and printed the model at 70% which probably is close to the limit as the tail becomes quite weak.

Please have a look at v2 of this model, including Tusks
