Nutcracker

A nutcracker figurine created based on old cartoons and illustrations for fairy tales. A wonderful New Year and Christmas story. It will be an excellent accessory on a holiday table or near the New Year tree. The model uses a Hueforge-type layer transparency method to add different shades.The main body is printed on site, the model itself consists of two parts - the main body and legs. The mechanism works right away, it should be noted that you may need to increase the number of walls and the degree of filling if you need to crack particularly hard nuts. ) At 100% scale, nuts with a diameter of up to 40mm are suitable. The model can be scaled quite easily and without problems from 90% to 140%Alternatively, you can immediately combine the body and legs for greater strength without assembling them without using latches.Research shows that interlayer adhesion increases as layer height decreases, so if you don't have enough strength, you might want to try lowering the layer height. Either increase the number of walls or the degree of filling.Color profile for K2 included.Also attached are stl files for one-color printing or independent coloring:Print Options:Slicer: Creality Print or OrcaNumber of walls: at least 6 (preferably more)Filling: at least 30% (preferably more)Material: PLA or PETGSupports: not requiredBorder: not requiredIf you liked the model, vote for me in the 2024 Top 100 Designers Awards.Happy printing and enjoy your use.
