The Artificial Life Integrated Cybernetic Entity, or ALICE for short, is energetic and full of (artificial) life! She's ready for adventures or to help you out around the house, though at about 7"/18cm there's not a whole lot she can do by way of chores but she'll try her best!
ALICE is a 3D printable Action Figure Model Kit. She comes with 2 different eye parts and 3 different mouthparts to create a variety of different expressions as well as both open and closed hands.
Be sure to follow WuLongToys here or on social media to know when Add-On sets for ALICE are ready. The Add-On sets will include new hairstyles, outfits, and accessories for your ALICE.
Due to the nature of snap fit parts, I highly recommend using ABS for printing ALICE. In my print photos, the gray parts of her body are PETG and that works pretty good too, though the joints are squeekier and I think they'll wear out faster. HIPs was too brittle and the sockets will crack. PLA might be okay if you're only printing ALICE for display. Her joints will be a little tougher to fit together and wear out faster with use though a little floor polish to thicken them back up when they get too loose might work.
I printed the main body parts and joints at 0.2 layer height and her head at 0.16, while the face parts I printed at 0.12 for the eye details.
Any parts with a port facing the build plate will have a "support blocker" to keep support material from getting up into the port if you have the support set to "from build plate". On several of the parts, I've added supports in the model; like the Hinge Balls, the neck on the head_base, and the upper_arms for example.

I really wanted to experiment with swapping the filament mid print with this version. Note the pelvis, shins, and feet :D I'm really happy with how she turned out.
