Woody Woodpecker

Woody Woodpecker, a cartoon character from short films produced by the Walter Lantz Studio and Universal Animation Studio

Woody Woodpecker is an anthropomorphic red-headed woodpecker. His character and design evolved over the years, from an insane bird with an unusually garish design to a more refined-looking and acting character. A good summary of his evolution can be found here:

s ARE required on one part only. See notes for specific helpful printing tips.

If you have the proper filament colors, no painting is needed.

The assembled model is 195mm tall.

Enjoy!

Printing and assembly tips

Printing tips

Note I was able to print tail and head with just a raft on my MK4S/MMU3 with a smooth plate but during testing both of the QA makers had constant failures with just using a raft. See below for further information to ensure a fail free print.

1 - s are required on one part. I minimized many of the angles of the model as much as possible to reduce the need for any other s.

*s: organic/tree s were used on:
-beak (40 degree angle to help hold the part in place as well as )

-tail and head were printed by the QA team on textured plates and added s to hold the parts down. 15mm brims with 0 gap offset were also used.

-Optional parts, tail_with_braces and head_with_braces are also supplied as an option which do not need brims or s.

2 - There are some pieces that may need brims or rafts, use your discretion. When setting up my prints I prefer to be conservative to ensure the least chance of a print failure, especially since the base of many parts are hidden when inserted into another part.

*I used a raft on:
-tail
-head

*QA used a wide brim with added s on:
-tail
-head

3 - sign_inside is printed with a color change by layer. The first few layers up to .6mm are printed in medium brown, then black for the next .6mm, and then very light brown (or off-white) for the remaining .8mm.

4 - VERY IMPORTANT The left and right eye parts are significantly different from an assembly perspective and if they get mixed up it will make assembly tedious. Be very careful keeping track of these parts when removing them from the printer bed.

5 - When removing parts from the printer bed, it's a VERY good idea to place left/right parts into separate containers to help with the assembly process. Sometimes the difference between the left and right parts is very small but it is still worth keeping track of them and assembling them in their proper place.

Assembly tips:

1 - Take your time gluing the model together and enjoy the process. Give some thought into which parts to glue together as groups and then gluing the groups together. Let the glue for each group set completely before combining groups.

2 - I used 3D Gloop (strong fast drying) and E6000 (tacky slow drying) glues to put this model together. For both glues using a smaller amount is usually better than more glue.

3 - important for all my models, be sure to dry fit all parts before gluing.

4 - If you use a brim on the tail, be sure to clean the first layer well.

5 - Refer to the assembly diagrams in the pictures section as well as the ed pictures for putting the model together. The model is meant to be glued.

Do not hesitate to ask questions, is essential to making better models.
