Creator's description
Hi Folks, Seems like I have been on a bit of a water theme this month! I think the impending Summer heat is giving me serious ocean fever 🤣 Adding to the reptilian bones collection, the Plesiosaurus has a long neck, smaller head and larger paddles (fins). This character is super articulated and wiggly. I added the stand as a way to display in a more upright position. The Lobster snack and XL/cut versions are included! Notes for the XL/Cut version PLEASE READ the print tips below... you must glue together. This is the super glue I use for all my XL dinos: https://amzn.to/4lYylON Happy Printing -Dan *Please consider tagging @flexifactory/ #flexifactory in your social posts so I can see your amazing prints!

How to print
Print tips and Info: STL and 3MF files are included. * If you use the 3mf file, please remember that it is a painted project file for your convenience. You must check your material/printer/settings to make sure it works correctly for your printing project. I create the 3mf in bambulab with the X1C settings. I print with .12 or .16 layer height for quality. For the stand, consider reducing infill to 8% to save time and materials.As usual, make sure you have good adhesion, especially the smaller you go. A glue stick works or I have switched to using on all my machines... a BIQU Cryopgrip Frostbite adhesion plate. I successfully test printed between 60% and 322% XL for this design. But I recommend 60% or larger for the dinos. If you print the minis, consider using the straight stl/3mf for printability. XL version must be GLUED together with Super Glue. I still suggest no supports, though you may have some "roughness" due to bridging on the underside of the rib bones or toes. This is the super glue I use for all my XL dinos: https://amzn.to/4lYylON XL version is saved in the 3MF at 322%. The stand will not fit at that size. 322% fits only on the H2D plate.Gradient PLA works well with this model: I have a comprehensive list of Filament I use here: Amazon List 1st photo is 125% STL Stained and painted: Overture Matte PLA, Video Tutorial HERE 2nd Photo is 100% 3mf: Cookiecad Mermaid and Sunlu Yellow 3rd Photo is 100% 3mf: Locyfens Blue/Green and Geetech Brown Stone 4th photo is 60% and 80% STL: Flashforge Rainbow Candy
