Hey All!
Congrats to #TeamBunny. You guessed right! Haha. Whether it's for Easter or the Year of the Rabbit... there's no time like the present for this little Bunny!
This design has been quite a challenge to figure out, and I'm excited to share it with you all. It occurred to me that I could use the same techniques I developed in my pre-supports to make a model where one body part could pre-support another. This somewhat frees it up from having to "lay" on the print bed, and opens the door for other fun design options. Once printed, you just have to wiggle the joints to break the small contact points and free up the articulation (see video). Oh... and this design in particular lent itself to a print-in-place head, so no snap-fit needed!
Please watch this Video on the best way to free up the joints!
Happy Printing!
Matt

3D PRINTING SETTINGS
Print-In-Place. No additional supports needed. Several joints must be wiggled and "cracked" free in order to articulate them. Be Extra careful with brittle filaments, like silks
Pre-supported version included for extra print stability (recommended). Support is connected to the front legs that must be removed and discarded.
15-20% Infill.
3 Walls. <--This is very important!
Here is a quick video showing the best methods for "cracking" the joints free: Bunny Rabbit - Cracking the Joints: https://youtu.be/UYcgbHcd_y8
Some members of testing group successfully printed this model down to 50% scale, but YMMV.

That's really awesome though. I would love to see your little guy. I haven't tried using that setting yet.

2023-03-08 06:13:30 +0000 UTCI am loving this design. Tried it with fuzzy skin and it looks great. Till I tried to move things. Fuzzy doesn’t work well with articulated joints. Anyone figure out a way to do fuzzy skin without the joints being fuzzy? Working on a bambu and using that slicer.

2023-03-04 23:06:48 +0000 UTCOk, thanks for the feedback. I’ve heard that from a few people. I’m working on an update for that now. Just doing some test prints. Should be out soon!

2023-03-03 17:53:36 +0000 UTCI printed 2 at 80% and everything is great except the left shoulder joint wont loosen broke one arm trying to loosen it. I tried on a different printer and same issue. just the left shoulder joint.

2023-03-03 05:34:49 +0000 UTCThat one is hand painted. It's not a multi color print.
MatMire_Makes
2023-03-03 02:21:59 +0000 UTCDo you have the 3mf file for the brown/white that you show on discord?
MakersChoice
2023-03-03 02:20:44 +0000 UTCHi! Sorry you’re having a hard time with it. Can you send me some pictures so I can see if there’s something I can do to improve it? matmire.makes@gmail.com

2023-03-02 15:29:40 +0000 UTCI love this bunny but it doesn’t love me. Had two snap right above the shoulder joints 🥺
Cassie
2023-03-02 08:58:43 +0000 UTCHere is our time-lapse for the bunny. Did a nice pink so my wife can give it away for Easter. Kind of bugs bunny style I took the little time to paint the mouth area white. https://youtu.be/FJSf9B1Eicg
Frostbit Shadow
2023-03-02 02:14:52 +0000 UTCI'm in the same boat. As a proof of concept thing it is kinda cool. As a clean print it doesnt fall in line with the other models.
Dave Hart
2023-03-02 02:14:17 +0000 UTCPrinted a few in cookiecad, there's just too many spots that touch (support) other parts and makes for a lot of cleanup if you don't want sharp spots. I mean its a cool idea having the model print like this, but there are some pitfalls as well. maybe its just me.
Chad Presson
2023-03-02 00:13:44 +0000 UTCI printed one and it came out well - head was definitely tough to break and thought I'd snap the entire piece off. Luckily it worked :)
Sean John
2023-03-01 19:51:39 +0000 UTCThat definitely shouldn't happen. Would you mind emailing me some pictures so I can get a better idea of what might have happened? matmire.makes@gmail.com
MatMire_Makes
2023-03-01 16:31:08 +0000 UTCI did a print at 75%. Only the head came out nice. Rest just broke off on touching it.
Marco van Dam
2023-03-01 15:13:34 +0000 UTCAny chance you are using Cura and have "union overlapping volumes" unchecked? That would make the head connection very light. I'm working on a fix that would make that unnecessary, but for now that setting needs to be on.
MatMire_Makes
2023-02-27 23:38:48 +0000 UTCGreat model but I've had two heads come off when trying to free the head. Wonder if it could be beefed up somehow?
Jack from Layer Makes
2023-02-27 23:36:00 +0000 UTCI love it!

2023-02-27 18:49:30 +0000 UTCI got a little carried away... https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1045890713441012690/
Alexander Ramaker
2023-02-27 18:46:20 +0000 UTCI think 40%. I tried a 30% on the Bambu X1 but the elbows fused. Definitely pick strong filaments for attempting that small.
MatMire_Makes
2023-02-27 17:04:38 +0000 UTCWhat is the smallest size anyone has successfully printed?
Terri Trotter
2023-02-27 13:41:45 +0000 UTCI think this one was around 11-12 hours because I slow down the outer wall speed and printed the eyes in a different color. A single color print with those same print speeds would be about 9 hours.
MatMire_Makes
2023-02-27 01:27:57 +0000 UTCcurious how long it took to print on the bambu?
Kellie
2023-02-27 00:53:53 +0000 UTCI Printed one overnight on a Ender 3 S1 Plus in Duramic Marble Pla. Joints were a little harder to get apart then your video but it came out great!
John Michael
2023-02-26 02:36:45 +0000 UTCbig feets are cute! ...and help him hold himself up. :)
MatMire_Makes
2023-02-25 22:15:28 +0000 UTCI emailed you pics, they broke in the exact same spot
Johnny Wilson
2023-02-25 20:25:04 +0000 UTCI see. Silks can be super brittle, that’s why I push those joints inward toward the chest before trying to twist them. That helps avoid torsion stress to the layers. I show how I do this in the demo video that I linked in the post.
MatMire_Makes
2023-02-25 20:11:35 +0000 UTCYes it was Amolen silk rainbow filament. I just barely moved them and they both snapped off in the same place close to the shoulders
Johnny Wilson
2023-02-25 20:07:13 +0000 UTCBoth front legs snapped right off and I was using 25% gyroid infill
Johnny Wilson
2023-02-25 19:54:14 +0000 UTCI'm printing one right now, so far so good. I'm 85% done with the print and it's looking amazing so far
Johnny Wilson
2023-02-25 17:24:28 +0000 UTCOh no! You can email me pictures. matmire.makes@gmail.com
MatMire_Makes
2023-02-25 17:12:18 +0000 UTCI printed this and all looked nice until the head fell off. It looks like it was not actually connected. How can I send you a picture of this.
Jared Eggleston
2023-02-25 16:56:20 +0000 UTCI printed the little guy in 100mm Z. Is there a reason the front paws are big, like he is wearing boxing gloves :-)
Roberto Mello
2023-02-25 16:06:58 +0000 UTCJust finished printing it, and I love it! It printed really well. And all of the joints freed up nicely.

2023-02-25 15:57:27 +0000 UTCThe video you posted is for the Axolotl Head.
Jason Mooney
2023-02-25 15:37:44 +0000 UTCThe right rear leg wouldn'y break free, and twisted off
Jason Mooney
2023-02-25 15:29:42 +0000 UTCMat's stuff has historically been really easy to paint because of the clean sculpting. I dunno how needed it really is when it only takes a few minutes to do it. and the majority don't print dual colors.
Jazzy Plz
2023-02-25 07:23:42 +0000 UTCI decided to try another max size for the Bambu, just a single filament. It will take over 14hrs.
Jason Mooney
2023-02-25 05:56:58 +0000 UTCHey! I was wondering if you would be willing to share your Bambu 3mf files going forward? Almost nothing to paint on this little guy, but maybe on more complex models? Anyway, you could just save it along with the STL in the download folder. Some other content creators have started doing it (since Bambu is taking over!!) and its handy to open it ready to go without either of us doing more work. Thanks!
TheArtifactWorkshop
2023-02-25 04:16:37 +0000 UTCI started a little behind schedule, but I have this adorable rabbit started. https://www.twitch.tv/cooltechdesigns. 11hr31m for the colored details, 7h46m for just the eyes colored. Using CookieCAD Unicorn for the body, silk red for the irus, and a nice dark super glittery purple for the pupil. Almost forgot white for the bushy tail.

2023-02-25 01:01:48 +0000 UTCOh my gosh. I joined your Patreon this morning because my son loves the axolotl we printed so much…but he is obsessed with bunnies (he’s 6). You just made his day (week, month, etc). Thank you!! (He also said “when is he going to do an aye aye, kids are never satisfied).
Courtney
2023-02-25 00:59:15 +0000 UTCSo, when do we get the zombie version? Or maybe a Donnie Darko edition 🤣🤣 all kidding aside, looks like a fun print!
