* Printer Used for Testing: Bambu Lab X1C / P2S / K2 Plus (CoreXY)

    * Note: Tested extensively. Results may vary based on your printer type, calibration, and filament.

* Supports: Yes - Use the included `.3mf` file for your slicer! (Recommended!)

* Some models have a small square below them. This is by design, to generate better supports around feet/capes/tails

* Layer Height: 0.08mm

* Infill: 15% Gyroid

🔥 Important Printing Advice:

1.  *Prep Matters! 🔑: A Calibrated printer, Clean build plate (🧼 soap & water!), and Dry filament (💧➡️🔥) are essential for success!

2.  Support Removal:

    * COOL DOWN COMPLETELY first! 🥶

    * Use tweezers/cutters ✂️ carefully, starting at the base/brim. Pull supports *down & away*.

    * Be extra gentle on thin parts like spikes. 👀 Slow is a smooth removal!

    * Minor cleanup (light sanding) where supports touch is normal. ✨
