Fred Flintstone

Fred Flintstone is one of my favorite childhood cartoon characters. Fred was modeled in Blender, sliced using Simplify3D and printed in ABS on a FlashForge Creator X. I also used a GeckoTek plate to ensure perfect adhesion of the parts to the bed. Fred is in proportion to my other Flintsone models. If you have the proper filament colors, no painting is required. The model is 29cm tall. Enjoy, and I hope you have a "Yaba Daba Do" time printing this! Print instructions Print Settings Printer: FlashForge Creator X Rafts: No Supports: Yes for one part Resolution: .2mm Infill: 2 shells, 10% infill Notes: Only the top part of the hair (hair_a.stl) and a small piece of the tie (tie_front.stl) require supports, all other pieces should be printed without supports.

I used Simplify3D and set the supports to 2mm. 3 dense top layers and a horizontal gap of .2mm. Removal was clean and the resulting part was perfect. I also manually removed the supports in S3D that were generated for the pin hole on the bottom, as these supports were not needed. Tie_front also required some very minor supports. I used the same parameters as for the hair. Assembly Assembly is fairly straight forward, refer to the following picture. I've listed a detailed step by step process below if guidance is needed. The model can be assembled with the pins to help align and hold some of the parts together for gluing. Depending on the quality of the printer used, you may need to scale the pins down a bit (.98%) to make the fit a bit easier. Personally I like a tight fit, even if a little sanding is required. -Use two pins to attach/glue hair_a to hair_b -Use two p
