3D modelled and printed tail experimentThis model was important to see how the printer handled the flexible filament. I had to set up the print vertically so the flat face was on the print bed: I learned that I love how flexible the result is but the printer doesn't. As the print gets closer to the top the TPU filament wobbles and effects print quality. To solve this I now know I need to print in even smaller sections to help with stability. Further Sketches....Left sketches of the frill design and two test print samples using the same filament but at 1mm and 0.5mm thickness. The 1mm was too thick to be soft and flexible, the 0.5mm had a good softness - I want to digitally model and print the frill design as is to see how it moves and folds at this point.
Right a new tail design and side profile of the puppet. The tail test print I found too flexible and lacked the control for the puppet: to solve this I am going to...
