Jumbo Christmas - Elves - Bernard and Twinkle
Description
I Compiled These Two Elves To Go With My Santa (Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:3899272) And Mrs Claus (Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2843428) Jumbo Figures - Bernard Is The Head Elf And Twinkle Is The Decorator! Used Skimbal'S And Countspatula'S Figures - A Combination Of Each - At 75% Of The Jumbo Figure Size, Or 300% Of The Original Minifig Size, So They Are A Bit Smaller As Elves Should Be! Printed Using Simplify3D In Order To Pause The Print And Filament Swap Where Required On The Legs. Some Of The Parts Are A Bit Finnicky As They Are So Small - One Of These Was The Mouth And Eyes Of The Innie-Head (Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1675494) - I Actually Ended Up Melting A Spare Piece Of Black Filament And Squishing It Into The Indents, Then Sanding Flush With The Face. Bernard'S Shirt Bottom And Twinkle'S Zig-Zag Skirt, Their Neck Cuff And Arm Cuffs Were An Afterthought, Based On A Picture I Saw - I Compiled These In Sketchup (Still Learning) And They Turned Out Really Well. They Are Attached Using Superglue, With A Lighter Used To Heat And Bend Around The Sharp Corners/Edges - Take It Slow And It Will Work Out. The Neck Cuffs Slide Right On And You Can Heat And Bend The Overhanging Pieces Down If Required. Bernard'S Shades Needed A Bit Of Trimming On The Ear Pieces With A Sharp Craft Knife. Whittle Down Until They Fit Tightly Between The Hat Rim And The Ears. I Can'T Seem To Find The Original Thing, But They Originally Slid Into Two Holes On The Side Of The Face - I Scaled Them Up To Fit On The Outside Of The Face, Over The Ears. The Ears Were Printed Separately And Glued On, As I Wanted Them Placed In A Particular Way. You Can Use The Spock Head, But The Face Will Not Look Good On These Elves! Hence I Used The Innie Smile Head And Attached The Ears. The Hat Brim Text Was From Dogbert'S "Name Your Santa Hats" Thing: (Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:220973 I Was Going To Remodel The Ball On The Hat Fringe And Replace It With A Lindt Bell, But I Couldn'T Get The 3D Modelling Right - I May Try This Later When I'Ve Learnt More On Sketchup... Elf - Bernard ------------- The Head Of Santa'S Helpers Needs To Have Atire That Says "I'M In Charge", Whilst Retaining The Whimsical Properties We All Know And Love.... Plus He'S Just Super-Cool! Bernard'S Legs Were Printed Using Red, White And Green Abs Filament. Filament Swaps Were Done As Follows - Each Stripe Is 2Mm Thick: Layer 001-055 In Red (The Shoe Part) Layer 056-065 In White Layer 066-075 In Green Layer 076-085 In White Layer 086-095 In Green Layer 096-105 In White Layer 106+ In Red Other Colours Used For Bernard Are: Shoes - Red (With A Couple Of Gold Bb Pellets For The Shoe Bells) Hips - Red Neck Ring And Cuffs - Red Body Fringe/Waist - Brown (Or Print A Normal Body And A Brown 1Mm Thick Belt) Buckle - Gold Body - Green Body Skirt - Green Arms - Green Hands - Skin Head And Ears - Skin Hat Rim - Red Hat Top - Green Or Gold Glasses, Mouth And Eyes - Black Scroll - Tan Or Light Brown Or Red (Or Any Colour You Wish) Elf - Twinkle ------------- Twinkle, Although One Of The Hardest Workers And Master Decorator, Is Cute; Nothing Else, Just Plain Cute... Twinkle'S Legs Were Printed Using Brown, White, Red And Green Abs Filament. Filament Swaps Were Done As Follows - Each Stripe Is 2Mm Thick: Layer 001-048 In Brown (The Shoe Part) Layer 049-058 In White Layer 059-068 In Red Layer 069-078 In White Layer 079-088 In Red Layer 089-098 In White Layer 099-108 In Red Layer 109-118 In White Layer 119+ In Green Other Colours Used Are: Shoes - Brown (With A Couple Of Gold Bb Pellets For The Shoe Bells) Hips - Green Body Fringe/Waist - Brown (Or Print A Normal Body And A Brown 1Mm Thick Belt) Buckle - Gold Body - Green Arms - Green Neck Ring And Cuffs - Red Hands - Skin Head And Ears - Skin Hat Rim - Green Hat Top - Red Or Gold Mouth And Eyes - Black Extras ------ Twinkle'S Decoration String -- Lindt Chocolate Bunny Ribbon And 3 Lindt Bells - Tie-Off The Bells At The Spacing You Wish To Use And Place A Dab Of Glue In Each Hand To Secure. Bernard'S Scroll (Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2601645) - I Printed This In Two Halves, Orientated On The Build Plate Down The Middle, As I Wanted Brown Ring Pieces And A White Scroll Paper. Print What You Want To Put On The Scroll On A Label Sheet - The Label Cut-Out Size Is 24Mm Height By 30Mm Width. Make It Central And Stick Down. The Balls On The Ends Of The Shoe Tips Are Yellow Gas-Gun Air Pellets That I Had Lying Around. There Is No .Stl Included, But You Could Source Something From Thingiverse If Needed, Although At 75% Scaling They May Be Difficult To Print. Remember: Some Of The Files Are Still Sized At 400% For The Jumbo 4X Figures - I Printed Some Parts At 75% And Others At 300%, Depending On The Source File Size. You Should Be Able To Gauge For Yourself Which Parts Should Be Printed At What Size. Update: 30 Nov 2018 ================== Per Request, I Have Added 3 Additional .Stl Files For: - The Left And Right Ears Only (Skin_Ears_L_R Only.Stl) - Single Head With The Left And Right Ears (Skin_Heads_And_Ears_1Xhead_With_Ears.Stl) - 2 Heads With The 2 Sets Of Left And Right Ears -- Removed The Extra Heads Below The Print Bed, So This Stl Effectively Replaces File Skin_Heads_And_Ears_Z_To_Zero.Stl (Skin_Heads_And_Ears_2Xheads_4Xears.Stl) Nb: Check That The Parts Sit Flat On The Print Bed. Adjust Positioning In Your Slicer If Needed. Please Check/Feedback Whether They Work For You - I Have Not Tested And Am Not Too Good With Meshmixer Yet! ;)
