Early last month I 3D printed a cat for my sister. My sister loves cats. I don't know why. Fortunately my niece has better taste and has resisted the cat propaganda. We know the truth: dogs are clearly superior to cats.
The puppy design I 3D printed is from Thingiverse and was posted by user skateDesigns. Who's a good boy under a Creative Commons CC-BY license? This puppy!

The Tronxy slicer program was incredibly inaccurate when calculating the ETA of the print. It ended up taking over 4 hours to print with a 20% infill.
I used the default 50 degree or higher overhang value for supports and there was quite a bit of support in the front of the model.

Who let the dog out? I did by removing the supports after the printing was complete.

I liked the result so much I printed another one so both my niece and I have a copy.
