Black Widow of Marvel fame. There's some light Scarlett Johansson resemblance in this, but I was honestly not going for that this time around, but a more generic comic book look! It's funny how your subconscious plays a part sometimes.
Notes about printing
She comes in 3 pieces. One of the hands comes as a separate piece, and requires supports. The body part also requires some supports under her elbow. I tried a lot of tricks to avoid supports, but they all looked very awkward. I have provided a screenshot from Prusa Slicer which has the supports paint feature, where I have demonstrated where I would put them for easiest printing.
Unfortunately this time around I wasn't able to run proper test prints on FDM, because the extruder of my Prusa clogged up solidly while printing a 100mm fan duct (don't ask...), and no cold pulls or acupuncture needles have worked, and I haven't had time to disassemble the extruder to fix it. The resin version worked out well, though, and the key area required a little bit of sanding to fit properly, so I'm optimistic!
Final notes
I figured I would end with a little sneak peek of something I'm working on in the background. A bit of a bigger project that is still rather early in its development, and definitely needs some more time and careful consideration, so I can't say exactly when it will be released. Excited about doing something like this, though, even if I'm really dreading the engineering that will be required!
Hope everyone has had a great, short February. I can't thank you all enough for your support, and many thanks for all the wonderful messages of supports I have received. It means a lot :)
Comments
I wish I had a good system for people to easily re-download the models from a period when they were patrons, but for the time being one can just send me a PM on Patreon and I'll give access to it when needed. I'm not going to make anyone become a patron again just to grab a model or two :)

2021-02-28 23:21:50 +0000 UTCIf you found that your filament snapped inside the PTFE tube - I had that happen 3 weeks ago and turns out you can boil the tube and use an allyn wrench to push it through.
2021-02-28 23:20:46 +0000 UTCGreat art as always, and that WIP is crazy good :) Keep trucking! I do have a "housekeeping" question - normally your links are monthly, so with this link droping at the end of the month, does it stay longer? I grabbed it already, but i had to get it from a hotspot while away for the weekend fearing I'd miss it :)
