Art the Articulating Shelf Elf (Patreon)

Hey everyone, 

So recently one of our members (Nick Rodriguez) suggested that I try to make an Elf on a Shelf.  I have never created an articulated print, so I figured this would be a fun project to try out!

Art the Elf is fully print in place with no supports needed, and the head rotates a full 360 to display one of two different faces.  (I can create more faces if anyone wants!).

Here is the link where you can find the model in the drive:

The current file is V1, which printed well for me, but i've already got some improvements I plan on making to the model.  Specifically the head-rotating mechanism.  Its really just a separate piece embedded into the body, but the problem is the build place surface area is really small so its hard to keep adhesion through out the print.  This only affected the very top of the hat for me, but i'll come up with a fix very soon and upload V2!

As with all of my models, I am very open to input and suggestions on how it could be improved!  I hope you enjoy this design, and I'll let you all know as soon as we have an upgraded version!

As always thanks so much for all of the support!
