Max GlenisterPrint in Place Elephant

I’m enjoying printing some great models from Thingiverse.
This little elephant is an articulated print-in-place model. It prints in one piece, and then the legs sort of snap to become moveable.
I printed mine on a raft to help with the wonky bed calibration that I’ve got, and at a smaller scale to print it faster. Due to the scale the elephants trunk snapped off when removing the raft.
The print is a lot smoother in real life than in the photos, with the individual layers almost imperceptible to touch.
Here’s the model on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:257911
