Important V2 Update Information!
This is a completely redesigned V2 of our popular Duffel-Coat Bear bust, now with a much more advanced and user-friendly multi-color setup! This version uses a clever two-pause method to achieve its beautiful result.
A Note on the 3MF File: The included 3MF file may look "funny" when you load it into your slicer. For example, the hat might appear white. This is normal! The colors are assigned this way to make the filament swaps logical and easy. Please trust the process and follow the guide below for a perfect print!
Print settings
* AMS Setup Slot 1-4 Blue/Brown/yellow/White or grey for plinth.
* Layer height: 0.2mm OR 0.1mm is required to use the pause instructions below. If you use a different layer height, you will need to manually find the new heights for your color swaps.
* Default Size: The model is 100mm tall by default.
* Supports: Yes, tree supports are recommended for the chin and under the brim of the hat.
* Infill: 10-15% is sufficient for a display piece.
Multi-Color Pause Print Guide
This model uses two simple pauses to achieve its classic look.
Initial Filament Setup: Load your AMS with the following colors:
- Slot 1: Blue (or your chosen coat color)
- Slot 2: Yellow (or Gold)
- Slot 3: Brow
- Slot 4: Grey (or your chosen plinth color)
Color Swap Instructions:
- PAUSE 1 (at 12.8mm height): The printer will pause automatically. Make the following swap:
- Swap Grey (Slot 4) -> to -> Red
- PAUSE 2 (at 64.7mm height): The printer will pause again. Make the following swap:
- Swap Yellow/Gold (Slot 2) -> to -> Black
Resume the print after each swap. That's it!
Pro-Tip for an easier print: You can skip the second pause entirely and just color in the eyes and nose with a fine-tipped black permanent marker or some black paint on a toothpick.
Basic automatic tree type supports should be adequate,
The standard model is roughly 80mm tall but can be resized...
5 to 10% infill is plenty,
The main tricky part (if you are printing with ams) is after the plinth, you need to do a colour swap as well as above the golden/yellow buttons bit again we swap the yellow to black for the eyes etc., above that. So you will be doing a 5 or 6 colour print with 4 colour ams

Print Settings (General Recommendations - Adjust to Your Printer):
* Layer Height (FDM):
* 0.08mm - 0.16mm is highly recommended to capture his gentle facial features, fur texture (if applicable), and the details of his hat and coat. Printing at 0.08mm can achieve near-invisible layer lines.

Finishing (Bringing Duffel-Coat to Life!):

* Single-Color STL Prints:
* Remove supports carefully.
* Light sanding on support interface areas can improve smoothness.
* A good quality primer will prepare the surface for painting.
* Acrylic paints are perfect for capturing his classic colors.
* I painted the eyes and nose using a tiny leaf's stick part dipped in paint.
* Don't forget the label on his coat if you're feeling extra detailed!
* A matte or satin varnish will protect your paintwork.
