<p>I wanted to make a Thanksgiving model to share with family and friends.</p><p>I have included the plain turkey (no legs) as well as the bobble version. &nbsp;</p><ul><li>For the no leg version, you need to print the turkey and 7 feathers.&nbsp;</li><li>For the bobble version, you need to make sure that you are using the bobble version of the turkey body, 7 feathers, 2 springs for the legs, and 1 base.</li></ul><p>I printed the tail feathers in multiple colors--just load the print bed in your slicer with several copies of the feather and then print the file with a different color each time. &nbsp;I let each person choose the color of feathers that they wanted.</p><p>I recommend using supports for the feathers since they are rounded on the end that inserts into the turkey. &nbsp;The supports are very small and you may end up not needing them but… If you are having adhesion problems, you might want to use a raft but I found it not to be necessary.</p><p>I used supports on the turkey body so that the beak printed perfectly. &nbsp;</p><p>I used the sturdy springs for the legs.&nbsp;</p><p>There are 2 different feathers. &nbsp;The first one has the pattern pressed into the feather. &nbsp;The second one has a raised detail. &nbsp;I printed several of each in each color. &nbsp;You need a total of 7 feathers for each bird. &nbsp;If your family plays games at the holidays, you can use the feathers to keep score--players gain or lose a feather for each point. &nbsp;With small children, you could hide them to be found and the first child to fill the turkey's tail wins a prize.</p>
