✨ M.A.K.E.R – Creality’s New Mascot, Printed on Ender 3 V3! ✨🤖 As part of the official Creality event, I printed the new M.A.K.E.R mascot (Mini version – 17cm) on my Ender 3 V3! Since my printer isn’t multicolor, I went with the single-color split model, which is divided into 4 plates. Each plate was printed in a different filament color, for a clean and colorful result — [%1951448743][%7131633556] 🎨 Color Breakdown & Filament Used: 🟢 Green parts: Soleyin Matte Moonstone PLA – not a pure green, but gave it a beautiful soft green-ish hue that fits the theme nicely (and yes, it was a bit humid… but the Space Pi dryer was taken 😅) ⚪ White parts: Ender PLA White ⚫ Black parts: Ender PLA Black ⚙️ Grey parts: Soleyin Grey PLA 👉 I used the Generic PLA profile in Creality Print for all filaments — it keeps things simple and still works great with these brands. 🛠️ Model Tweaks & Prep Work in Creality Print: To get everything to print cleanly, I had to do quite a bit of slicing surgery: 🔪 Cut function to better position parts 🎨 Paint tool for support optimization 🧩 Repair tool to fix non-manifold edges ➖ Add Negative Part to carve out or clean intersecting areas 🛠️ Rebuilt some assemblies manually, adjusted bed contact points, and generated supports where needed Despite all that, a few ball joints came out stuck (arms of the robot). But overall, the assembly went well, and the final result looks great! The transforming triangular shape + poseable limbs give it serious personality. 🖨️ Print Settings Recap: Printer: Ender 3 V3 Slicer: Creality Print Layer height: 0.2mm Supports: Custom, added manually where needed Brim: Not used Filament profile: Generic PLA (for all colors) 📸 In the final pictures, you’ll also see a small calibration robot next to M.A.K.E.R. That little guy was one of my very first prints on the Ender 3 V3, using my first ever spool of Hyper PLA. It was just a basic model to check print height and flow — but seeing it now next to a fully articulated mascot really shows how far this printer has come 😄 🧩 There’s definitely room for improvement on the model side (especially joint tolerances), but it’s an awesome project and a great showcase piece. Let’s be real — it wouldn’t be a real “maker” model without a little slicing chaos and print debugging 😅
