Hey there! I love these bases, though I wanted to ask. Do you recommend supports for them? I've been printing them on an Anycubic Kobra V2 and I've always used tree supports for them, printing nose up, but I've always had a hell of a time getting them out without making the insides super rough or pulling away at the filament. I've had to sand them in the past but it adds a ton of work.
(Looking to print the fox for my boyfriend and the wolf for me!)
For my prints I used 1 separation layer (default is 2) between the tree supports and the actual model. I also have the tree-tip diameter the same as the extrusion width / nozzle diameter.
Post-print I use tiny diagonal cutters (same kind used for snipping wires in electronics) to break the trees off as close as possible, and needlenose pliers to snap off any leftover nubs of tree.
I have no plans for breaking up these sets to sell the files individually. If I have stand-alone heads available at a later date they would still be $15-20. These are packaged to reduce the number of listings on my page and make designs easier to find.
So! I have mixed reviews over using these models for the past year or so. They're great overall! But... they tend to have some hiccups.
Canines: You'll need to go in and "Solidify" them by .25mm because the walls are so thin in some spots that it leaves gaps in the filament.
Also? The skulldog set? The top jaw parts are completely hollow and need to be modified to be solid. Will absolutely fail on your printer and make spaghetti nonsense. Took me ages to diagnose what was going on until I realized it was only printing one wall and using zero infill.
Straight out of the box? 2/5 stars Once they're modified and fixed? 5/5 starts. Super popular on my shop and consistently getting orders.
Looking forward to getting more bases from this shop!
I'm sorry you're having issues with your printers or print settings, but I've successfully printed every headbase I sell with no issue (the sample photos are at-scale, successful prints.) Every base will print successfully with a raft or large brim (depending on your bed surface), and the only base that will require support is the skulldog.
Thank you for these quality bases! I'll be starting my print soon. I was hoping to get a quick pointer, how do you make use of the eyelids? I am assuming you are mounting a few magnets to the eyelid, and a few to match it on the underside of the brow ridge, inside of the base itself. Just curious if that matches up with your preference/usage for it.

Would you be open to making a borzoi/ or sight hound base?

I only use supports for the nose and eyelids. The head will print fine without support, but I do use a raft to keep it from falling over.
Do I still have to pay the full 25 dollars if I only want a singular pattern from the Canine 1.0 set?

Got it, thanks ^^

Again, thank you very much!
2 magnets on the eyelid (one on each end) and a matching pair inside the base
Nice work Maim!
Great to work with!
Amazing work!!
Amazing work on these!
