Calvin and Hobbes Snowmen Village (Collection)

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER! Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes, has stated that he doesn't approve of the merchandising of his art. Out of respect for him and his amazing work, please, do not sell the digital or physical copies of these. Thank you! So, this is definitely a work in progress as I'd like to get a few more of the scenes done. Still, Christmas approaches and I wanted to share this fun non-denominational holiday decoration. All credit for the idea goes to my wonderful wife but modeling credit goes to Bill Watterson and myself. Important notes on printing. I've printed some of these parts on a DLP (resin) printer but all of them on an FDM printer. Just dial that printer in for the smaller parts and take your time gluing together after. Oh, and buy a pile of sandpaper... Note on the bowling ball. I found it easiest to print the head while it's nestled in the bowling ball holder, floating a few mm above. Depending on your software, automate or hand add supports and just print slowly. I also suggest printing the bowling ball with very high infill and pins with low infill so the weight makes for maximum entertainment. I tried uploading a brief video of the bowling in action but Thingiverse seems to just be hanging.
