Lenny - Toy Story

thingiverse

This is an pretty accurate Lenny model from the Toy Story movies! This model is rather large, if you are looking to make an accurate scaled Lenny, you'll need to scale down his parts in your slicer. I printed mine at 45% , although that may be a little large for some peoples taste, but I find it to be fairly accurate. The easiest way to figure out your scale, would be to import the body file into your slicer. Use reference photos from the movies, to determine the width you would like your Lenny. We are calculating the width measurement here, because the body file is obviously his entire width, so if we can calculate his actual width, we can from there calculate every part. Now in your slicer, universally scale the body to your desired width. Your slicer should tell you the percentage that this was scaled down to. Now all you need to do is universally scale down every part by this percentage in your slicer! You can pretty much print these with any infill you desire, the only thing that probably matters, is a high infill for the legs. They are fairly thin, so you'll want to make them strong, and maybe add an extra wall or two. The model has been parted out for very easy painting. I paint each part separately, and then I assemble the parts after they have been finished. Parts have a tight fit, especially the legs, you may want to tape off the parts of his legs that will be inserted into the body to ease your assemble. Or you can always take utility or x-acto knife to it afterwards to shave it down a bit. The only piece that is not 3D printed, is the Eye Clear Cover. I bought some thin flexible plastic from a local plastic store (TapPlastics) . It is thin enough that I can cut it easily with scissors. You could probably find some similar plastic from a Toy Box that has the thin plastic window display. I printed the Eye Clear Cover file, and used that to trace the size I needed, and then glued it in place. Make sure you a little distance between this cover and the pupil, so this way he will have actual googly eyes! A few other parts I did not paint. The red winder I did not paint since it is so small, I just used Red Hatchbox PLA and printed it at a high resolution, and I found the result to look great. The other part I did not paint was the eye pupil. I print onto a glass bed, so the underside always has a smooth glossy finish, so I printed the Pupil in black PLA, and faced the bottom side out so it has a very clean look to it.
