Summary
Opus, from the Bloom County comic strip, by Berkeley Breathed.
Set in Bloom County, the satirical strip was launched on November 23, 2003, and was syndicated by The Washington Post Writers Group. Opus is the title character and protagonist of the strip. Though he returned to Antarctica at the end of Outland, Opus traveled back home to Bloom County, only to fnd that time has changed everything and everyone he once held dear. His employment usually depended on the week's joke. Since Opus began, he has so far been a political operative, a garbageman, and a newspaper ombudsman – but he was most often depicted as a syndicated cartoonist.
No supports are required. If you have the proper flament colors, no painting is needed.
The assembled model is 210mm tall.
The scene is taken from the cover of one of Breathed works. The main model is complete on it's own without the bookcase and books, therefore it can be printed alone if desired.
Special thanks to Maker 'BillTheCat' aka 'Biil-de_cat' for suggesting this model and diligently looking over my shoulder and ofering suggestions along the way.

Printing and assembly tips
Printing tips 1-No supports are required 2-The fatbook covers should be printed with a brim. Use your discretion for other parts.
3-The parts should ft nicely when printed cleanly or with a slight frst layer squish.
4-The bookcase and fat books are all optional. For the bookcase, either print the full one OR the two halves, depending on your printer bed size
5-For the books, you can print as many or as few as you like. Personally, I printed the following using mostly the flament form the Paramount3D sample pack and varying the colors: book1 - 10 copies book2 - 8 copies book3 - 5 copies
.. Assembly tips:
1-I used E6000 sticky craft glue to put this model together. The sticky glue allows more time to position the parts than a fast drying superglue.
2-When attaching the openbook_cover_front/back to the arms, be sure to insert the covers all the way into the fngers and push the cover back as far as you can.
3-I glued the feet/body_black/body_white and let it dry frst. After gluing in the words and glacier on the book cover I then glued the arms/ openbook_covers/openbook_pages to the body all at the same time. Be sure the book_covers are the same height. Once dry, I then added the openbook_spine.
4-There should be no issue, but If for some reason you did not get the book in fully and the spine is too narrow, simply make the spine wider before gluing it.
5-Refer to the assembly diagram in the pictures section as well as the uploaded pictures for putting the model together. The model is meant to be glued.
Do not hesitate to ask questions, feedback is essential to making better models.
