Yes. You’re going to need a lot of material for … the nine tails.
Ironically yes, you cant print mid air and while ….. other things at least expand out to print, tails are free floating.
Mans : Extra support material
If you have a multi-head printer (some bigger Prusa ones will add and remove tool heads depending on what filament they need), you could load one with PVA filament. It prints like normal filament, and you use it for supports—but the neat thing is it is water-soluble. So once your model is printed, with all the highly-supported free-floating tails and… other things, you just soak it in some water and the PVA will wash away and leave the model perfect.
“more filament”
The story of my life. Also, ack! Don’t leave spools out like that. Quick, put that sucker in a dryer!
Wait, a figure of the detail befitting Yuki should be a resin print you heathen. ;p
He doesnt have room for a Resin printer. That stuff is toxic and you really shouldn’t have that kinda stuff in your house unless you have like a workshop, garage, or hobby room just for it. Normally for a more advanced figure he would prototype it in filament, and then order parts with the model in resin- but that would involve cutting up the model and sending the files – which might count as sharing it online…
The deal was that the “scan” doesn’t end up online. Derivative works with a full outfit shouldn’t be in violation, I would think.
Arguing semantics with a kitsune is a good way to get cursed a LOT.
Looks like Yuki will have a second date with Nameless.
He’ll have to work for it though, preparing a detailed ninetailed kitsune kit.
I hope they bang next time.
A bang on reflection.
Yes, Yuki has been very abstainabled (abstaindisabled?) for some time now. With nine tails you would think she had nine times as much other biology (such as hormones, doesn’t need to be physiological exterior) …
Once she sees the final model, she might want one for herself.
Am I the only one who thinks the single tail would work better for this? Or even make it detachable with a nine tail alternative part.
