I did not care for the print orientation that the default print profile comes with so I took some time and rearranged him so he was flat on his feet. That meant the middle finger of his left hand went through the floor, but that was OK since it wasn't rounded like the others. I then switched to tree supports. The eyes could have come out a little better, but otherwise this is a great print. I used PolyMaker heat changing purple for the body so the longer you hold him the lighter that part gets

thanks for printing it. when I made this I had tried a couple different print orientations. I liked on his back because I could hide the last purple “dimple” swirl under his eye and it made his body stronger. I thought I had tree supports, but it’s been a while and I imported these from my Printables site. I’m starting to wonder if some settings were lost with those I first brought over!

Replying to @tdub55 :

No worries and I get why you laid him out that way. if you like I could post my tweaks/changes as a second print profile so you could see how I tackled it. I also used filament saving g-code. I forgot to mention I used .16mm layer height for detail. I did not use adaptive layering because that messes up the look of the heat changing purple filament. I also used 25% gyroid infill and 4 walls since a kid will be playing with it. All told it took about 12 hours.
