Schroeder, from the comic strip Peanuts by Charles Schulz After Linus, Schroeder is Charlie Brown's closest friend. He is distinguished by his prodigious skill at playing the toy piano, as well as by his love of classical music and the composer Ludwig van Beethoven in particular. No supports are required. One part is included with and without built-in supports. If you have the proper filament colors, no painting is needed. The assembled model is 180mm tall and is in proportion to my other Peanuts models. Enjoy! ...........................................................................................................

Printing and assembly tips Printing tips1 - No supports are required. One part is included with and without built-in supports. *The hair part contains built-in supports. Due to the very slow curve of the part, the supports are a bit tight fitting but do the job well. The supports have only been tested using .2mm layers but 'should' work with smaller layer heights. The supports come off in four parts. Do not use a knife to remove the supports. *The optional part, hairwithoutsupports, is positioned for slicer supports and only requires support at the bottom. One part is split into two parts for printing without supports, headtop and headbottom. The part, headonepiece, is also supplied as an optional piece that would require supports. 2 - There are some pieces that may need brims or rafts, use your discretion. When setting up my prints I prefer to be conservative, especially since the base of many parts are hidden when inserted into another part. *I used brims on: head_top, eyebrows, eyes, mouth 3 - The shirt and sleeve slices can be printed at .2mm but for a cleaner look I used adaptive layer height and set the top layers of each part to .1mm to smooth out the slight slope. .. Assembly tips: 1-Take your time gluing the model together and enjoy the process. 2-I used E6000 sticky craft glue to put this model together. The sticky glue allows more time to position the parts than a fast drying superglue. I have 'fat fingers' and a shaky hand, so the sticky glue works out best for me, especially with small pieces. 3-I purposely separated many left/right pieces to highlight that they are different, even though the difference is slight. Keep your left/right parts in separate containers until putting the model together, they can be confused very easily. 4-Pay special attention to the leg part as per the assembly diagram. I kept putting it in backward and had to look at my own diagram! 5-Glue Schroeders arms in last. If everything was glued properly they are positioned just at the right height above the keys, however if you have any minor misalignments, the hands might wind up too low. By gluing the arms to the shirt last, you can be sure they rest on the keys. I did not glue Schroeder to the piano. 6-As noted above, make sure that the left/right pieces are positioned correctly, especially the legs/socks/shoes, before gluing. Look closely at the pictures for guidance. 7-Refer to the assembly diagram in the pictures section as well as the uploaded pictures for putting the model together. The model is meant to be glued. Do not hesitate to ask questions, feedback is essential to making better models.
