Scale

🤏 Printing smaller or at 60%? tap to expand
Increase wall loops from 2 → 3 and infill from 15% → 30% — smaller prints need extra structure to keep the joints from being too floppy. Using a softer PLA (Eco PLA, PolyTerra)? Same advice applies.

Editing Colours & Parts

  • Load the 3MF — parts are already split and colour-coded, ready to slice
  • To recolour: Alt + click a part → press the filament slot number on your keyboard (1, 2, 3…) — or select it from the filament list in Object Mode
  • Optional parts — recolour or delete any of these: bow · brows · pupils · eye glares · keyring
  • Can be scaled up or down slightly if needed
Don't use the Fill Paint tool to repaint parts — it can cause messy colour edges. Use colour assignments instead.
