3D PRINTING SETTINGS
Body: Print-In-Place. No Supports (Aside from a Brim)
Head: Snap-Fit to Body. Requires Support "Touching Buildplate". (I like "Tree" supports)
Good bed adhesion is a must! I highly suggest using a BRIM or RAFT to make sure the tail stays upright as the segments build.
New:
- Body with custom Brim (Print-in-Place, Brim geo is built in so no need to generate one.)
- Head with custom Brim (Easily Snap-Fit to Body, Requires Supports)
15-20% Infill.
3 Walls.
For a demonstration of how I use Cura's support blockers to print the Head and Body at the same time, please check out this video. It's super easy!

Here is a quick video showing the easiest method for snap-fitting the head onto the body: https://youtu.be/DWsYu2BY7ow
Scale to your liking! 100% creates a 10" Axolotl, so that will make it easy to scale it to your desired size. (80% = 8", 75% = 7.5", etc.) Depending on your printer tolerances, you should be able to print close to 60-65% before the joint function may start to become compromised. YMMV
