I have so much trouble getting the heads on. I feel like I have to use extreme force. Any suggestions? Your demo makes it look so easy. 😩

I would make sure supports are turned off. Also, check for a setting called something like "make overhangs printable" as that can cause all kinds of weird issues. Aside from those settings, it could be hard to say. You can send me pics, as well as info about what printer and settings you are using to help@matmiremakes.com If you can include your gcode export, that could be very helpful too.

No clue why but my legs fuse together to the body and I can't rotate the rear hoofs or the front at all without snapping

it would be handy if the legs were printed separate, that way someone could print more of them in a batch saving on filament waste

Will there be a Spanish bull in your performance? I am looking forward to such a model.

I LOVE IT!!!

It’s just the most compact arrangement. So people with smaller printer, like the A1-Mini, can easily fit it.

The placement of 3mf file is interesting. Is it your intention to use the body as a support mechanism for the head?

This one is really beauty. However, it was unstable and difficult to stand upright. The joints were loose, especially in the main body. I'll reprint it and reduce the size; it might work for me. I printed it on an X1C..

OMG that is TOO cute. As a Scot I am very happy with this make. Might have to print this for our friends who run an animal sanctuary and have two Highland coos.

Not to nitpick- but a suggestion may be to make the highland cows back end a little rounder; smoothing out the prominent Holstein boney hips. Also an optional Licky face with the tongue sticking out or even licking its nose would be fantastic!

I want to say it was 75%, if I'm remembering correctly.

Hi can I ask what scale/size is cow number 4?

Stacy Williams

This is gorgeous. On the printer now. Thank you so much!

Well, I think there comes a time in every maker's Patreon where there must be a Highland Cow 😅 I think I have 7 different ones now. But yours is my favorite

EvilSnoopy

M(W)ohooooo! I love Hairy Coos 🥰😍 thank you so much!

Yes!!! As a Dutchie, I thought the cow was a fabulous addition. I was quietly rooting for a Highlander though - if anyone can capture that shaggy cuteness, it's you. So YAY!
