So this is one of those characters that really doesn't need any introduction. He's got a bit of an attitude problem and usually has a skeleton of adamantium, and claws (also adamantium) in his forearms that go SNIKT! when when they pop out from between his knuckles.
The biggest challenge and time sink with this one was the engineering, making him print ready, and doing test prints to make sure there weren't any embarrassing issues. One of the lessons I learned on this one was I should make the keys more unique for each part, because more than once I started gluing the wrong glove on the wrong arm... So be careful with that.
Print instructions
He comes in seven parts, and will require supports. In Prusa Slicer those were easy to place with the new support paint on feature. The image below shows how I placed the supports, which lead to a successful print. Note that I put the Z distance between supports and model at 0.2mm which made them break loose fairly easily. Just use a sharp little blade to clean up the resulting unevenness. I didn't have any issues putting the pieces together on the FDM prints, but with the resin one I had to do a bit sanding of the keys and the holes.
All the pieces fit on a normal Prusa bed, which isn't the biggest one out there:
Came out pretty well:
Wolverine not very happy about being glued:
Once healed up he proceeded to cut the resin version up thoroughly:
... who of course pulled himself together, quite literally:
In conclusion
I'll send out a separate message about some related things shortly after this one.
