Printing --------------------- All files are in STL to print without any support and already in the best orientation to print. Most parts can be printed with your standard 0.2mm layer config. In the pictures, they were printed using 3 walls and the new lightning infill for almost everything. For the clear parts you can use the great tips on **[How To Print Glass](https://www.printables.com/model/15310-how-to-print-glass)** The tentacles must be printed in vase/spiral mode, to avoid the seam line, they have a custom easy-to-remove brim. ###Parts grouped by the colors used in the pictures: **Pink (or your jellyfish chosen color)** Dome.stl DomeRing.stl CenterGear.stl GearsBase.stl **8 x** ExternalGear.stl **8 x** ExternalTentacle.stl (vase/spiralmode) **4 x** InternalGear.stl **4 x** InternalTentacle.stl (vase/spiralmode) Axle.stl - can be clear **Clear** DomeUnder.stl **Blue (or your base chosen color)** Base.stl BaseLid.stl CrankHandle.stl **Silver** CrankAxle.stl **Random color (these parts stay hidden)** CrankAxleGear.stl CrankLock.stl AxleBaseGear.stl **Assembling** https://youtu.be/fBVhXHgbrTI <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fBVhXHgbrTI" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> **Tips** - Check all the connections, screwing and gaps before assembling, the parts must play freely. - For the gears use the seam line "aligned" on Prusa Slicer and activate the option “hide Seam” on Cura, the gears work better this way. Other parts can have the seam aligned back. - For the tentacles you can use the option to print them individually (sequential printing), I recommend print some extra because they can break easily. You could also print tentacles normally if you will. - The dome does not need supports, it have some bridge but have a gap to compensate bad bridging. - Don't use the elephant foot compensation on the dome and the dome ring or you will have some bed adhesion problems, actually all parts except the axles already have some compensation. But even the axles can handle a bit of pressure on the first layer.
