Notes:

Printed with 0.16 and 0.28mm (multicolor) layer height
2-3 walls
0-15% infill
No supports needed

You will need a good bed adhesion to print it - especially in multicolor
Using some 3dprinting glue on the bed plate is recommended

Resizing down below 75% is not recommended but you can do it to print earrings (preferably with smaller nozzle than 0.4mm)
Small snakes should not be used by small kids

If printing with single filament I'm recommending to use dual/tripple color filament - it looks really nice
You can also try printing with rainbow filament but print some more models at once (usually a color change is after around 50-100g)


MULTICOLOR
Select a model of your choice and all of COLOR files and drop it in slicer
Click YES if asked to merge models or do it manually (select them on list, right click and merge)
Then choose a color for each model

Default color of a body is green (as on original old drawings) - I printed it with some blueish filament (had not good green one)
You can print it with whatever you like

Multicolor models are with a 'frame' to help set models in the right spot
Frame will not be printed
Ignore model 'errors'. Do not try to 'fix' the model

Printing in multicolor should be with 100% size or bigger unless using smaller nozzle than 0.4mm
