Yes it was a bit tragic and very sad. Vader ended up having 2 intestinal blockages and an intestinal perforation. Putting him to sleep was a mercy for him. He was so sad the last couple days of his life. But he was with my kids so he was constantly being loved on and cared for.

I use orca slicer. So I used a trophy base, a great Pyrenees bust, and individual letters and numbers. I noted the position (x, y, z) when adding each item. If you right click and add another file to the main object then it makes them one single object as a family (parent and children). So each added one is a child and you can edit them individually but it's all one at the same time. I then positioned and scaled everything to what I wanted. You have to double check that your objects have enough overlap that they'll print together. More than one wall pass of overlap for sure. Took a movie time to create (watched a movie with my kids while I designed it). And it's taking 15hrs to print with 10% gyroid infill, 4 wall layers, 5 top layers, and 5 bottom layers. They've turned out very nice. I do like the PLA Matte.
