Mario Cappy Larger Animated Eyes

prusaprinters

<p>I love the idea and decided to make one, but the eyes were a bit off for me and they didn't cover the wear and mild damage that happened when I removed the previous eyes.<br>So I reshaped them and made the eyes bigger. Thanks guys for including the files.</p><p>Additionally, I made the slots on the side smaller and recessed making them less evident yet you can still fit a needle and thread through.</p><p>I printed the eyes in white PLA case in black PLA. At the time, to hide the print lines I used a circular pattern for the top layer as much so I used a circular fill. This was awhile ago so you can see the gaps, this doesn't happen anymore with the updated settings.</p><p>I glued the eyes using 3d gloop PLA, but other glues such as CA glue (Krazy Glue) can be used.</p><p><strong>Assembly Tip:</strong> I placed the lipo battery in between the lining of the hat and ran the wires though the front behind the eyes. In doing so, I was able to place a larger battery. Never have a lipo battery in direct contact with you.</p><p>The animation lasted the whole day. I changed a bit of the code for the eyes and encourage others to do so as well.</p><p>you only need supports for the slots on the side.</p><h3>Print instructions</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Prusa</p><p><strong>Printer:</strong> <a href="http://amzn.to/2rqZ6Uo">i3 MK3</a></p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p><p><strong>Supports:</strong> Yes, for the case</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong> .2</p><p><strong>Infill:</strong> 10</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong> Prusa PLA white and black<br><strong>Notes: </strong>you only need supports for the slots on the side.</p>
