--I separate arms, tail segments, femurs and tibias. These tall and thin parts are very susceptible to being knocked over by the nozzle as it moves from part to part. In addition the frequent retraction makes these parts (if successfully printed) poor quality and stringy in-between. You can either print them individually for best quality or group them any way you want, preferably closer.

I found out that the best way to print the ribs is to print the entire rib cage on its side with support, for which I uploaded the rib_cage.STL file. You must enable Support Interface in Cura, otherwise the ribs will be impossible to be cleanly removed from support. I also included individual left ribs.

--I merged the neck H clip into the H clip file.

--I included a merged one-piece base for those whose bed is large enough. No more seam on the base.
