The Bearded Flapper

thingiverse

First, here's a little story about how this thing came about: So I was trying to find something to remix for the #RemixChallenge. I thought that The Flapper by loubie was pretty cool, so began to look at it's files in Thingiview. I eventually came to the part named "loubie_flapper_dress.stl". I sat there for a good minute or two, staring at the model and wondering why the heck there was a screaming mouth as part of the design. It took me a while, but after re-reading the file name I realized what it was. As I continued looking through the list of #RemixChallenge things, I found The Bearded Yell by bendansie, and, I mean, how could I not make it? And that's the story! If Bearded_Flapper_full.stl isn't printing correctly, try Bearded_Flapper.stl. Its the same thing, but with out the stand at the bottom. UPDATE 12/30 I added the flapper head to the mouth. You can download it: BeardedFlapperHead.stl I've also uploaded some pictures of it. (The rest of the hair is there, it's just behind the beard.) Print Settings Printer Brand: Printrbot Printer: Printrbot Simple Metal Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 1mm Notes: I set up a small fan in front of the printer for more efficient cooling. Since it was printed hollow, Fast cooling is a must. I had to chop off the bottom half to get a successful print. (I did end up making a lot of Angel Hair Pasta in the process) Post-Printing I was actually very surprised at how well the hair turned out. I expected it to be a big mess, but it ended up being one of my best prints yet! How I Designed This I used the Flatten brush to get rid of the existing mouth. I imported the Flapper_Dress, and scaled it to approximately 0.2. I then moved the dress to about where the mouth was. Again using the transform tool,I made some precise adjustments to fit the dress into the mouth. To touch it up, I used the inflate brush around the mouth to fill any gaps. note *I had to chop off the bottom half to get a successful print. You can still download the full version, though (Bearded_Flapper_full).*
