Modellbeschreibung
3D model of aubenc. The models were repaired and checked for printability.

In short: A paper (1.8mm thick cardboard) folding model of a bird with a zebra pattern....Zeig mehr You can print this thing, use the OpenSCAD to change parameters (please refer to thing 16209 for more instructions) or you can also just use the zebra pattern in your own design!

The long tale...

Did you try to print this thing's predecessor and didn't work? Well, that also happened to me now that I have a stepper extruder(s) printer. Some time ago Bot1334 did a great job because with her downgraded MK4 DC extruder, she don't miss a chance to ooze and that ooze acts as a perfect support.

To get the print I first modified the OpenSCAD to make a "big feet bird" and then and because I have a DualStrusion capable printer, I thought "hmmmm... it would be cool to add a pattern here: Checkered? (boring) What about something like making this bird looking like a cow? or a zebra?".

After a quick search I downloaded a zebra pattern but I could not import the vector file into any of the opensource tools I have installed, no worries, with the help of the turorials that have been thingiversed I have find the way to make it possible.

I used Inkscape to outline part of the pattern, imported into blender to make a usable STL, fixed the STL with netfabb and finally applied some boolean operations, difference and intersection, with OpenSCAD.

What I did to get this printed:

Used ReplicatorG 34 (Skeinforge 47) to merge both STL for DualExtrusion.

Settings:

Outline, Cool & Raft: Not Active

Def. start/end gcode & Printomatic: Yes

Infill = 10

Layer Height = 0.32

Shells = 1

Feedrate = 25

Travel Feedrate = 50

Check the gcode! I had quite a few unccessful builds because of the model being ejected mid-print. There's a Z- movement (platfform up) when swapping tools in the same layer! I'm affraifd that's a bug (there's a ticket opened).
I did not wait for a fix to be released, instead...

WARNING: that worked for me but I cannot tell if it's a safe thing to be done.

In the gcode, Ctrl+F, Find for 0, (zero comma) and replace with 0. (zero dot), press Replace All, it may take a while.

Repeat for 1 and 2 and 3 and... and 9

Save the changes !

Congratulations! You are ready to start the build.
Please note! I have no idea if decimal numbers in the gcode generated by ReplicatorG are always and for everyone expressed using the dot or for some regional settings/locales it's ok to use the comma. There are chances that this workaround will not work!!
