From Screen to Reality

1. Export

Click the Export button in the header. An export preview opens where you can set orientation and choose what to export.

Format:

  • STL — a single file, or a .zip with one file per color for multi-color printing. Each part is a named solid (Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer).
  • 3MF — native multi-part format with color baked in, ideal for Bambu Studio / Orca.

Options:

  • Joint fit: Firm (holds a pose) or Flexible (free rotation).
  • Part selection: for multi-part models, pick which parts and add-ons to include.
  • Kit frame (3MF): connect all parts into one liftable plate, then snap them off by hand after printing.
  • Instructions (PDF): generate a step-by-step assembly guide for your model.
  • Orientation preview: rotate the model in the preview for optimal printing.

2. Slicer Settings

Import the STL into your slicer (Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio).

Recommended Settings:

  • Layer Height: 0.16mm or 0.2mm (standard).
  • Infill: 15–20% (Grid or Gyroid).
  • Supports: Depends on model and orientation.
    • In many cases you can print support-free.
    • If your slicer shows risky overhangs, add minimal supports.
    • Do not fill joint gaps with support material.
  • Brim: Optional. Use a brim if you have bed adhesion issues.

3. Post-Print

  • Remove from build plate.
  • Snap the joints: Gently push the balls into the sockets — you'll hear a characteristic click. The ball passes through the slit via elastic deformation of the plastic.
  • Your toy is now articulated!
