Bonus: Highland Cow!!
Added 2025-07-29 23:58:46 +0000 UTCMoooo again!!
Introducing the fuzzy faced Highland Cow Subscriber Bonus!! I couldn't design a Cow without also making the shaggiest of shaggy Cows. I've also been wanting to add a full size design to my Welcome Pack - Bonus files, and this felt like a great option for that. As a Bonus file, all members now and in the future will get this file free with their membership! Bonus files are not released publicly, Members Only!
Check out a quick assembly Demo Video!
The download link for it is in the "Welcome Pack - Bonus Files" section of the Hub post.
I hope you like it!

3D PRINTING SETTINGS:
Head: Snap-Fit to Body. Pre-Supported! No slicer supports
Body: Print-In-Place. No slicer supports
Udders: Attach to the body using the included Udder Clip
Udder Clip: Insert in between the Body and the Udders
Multicolor 3MFs: While the Udders are included in the 3MF, you can reduce filament swaps/print time by printing the Udders separately. Compatible with slicers based on PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Orca.
10% Infill.
3 Walls.
This should generally scale down to about 70-75% with full articulation on a well calibrated printer. Your mileage may vary.

I have so much trouble getting the heads on. I feel like I have to use extreme force. Any suggestions? Your demo makes it look so easy. 😩

2025-10-21 11:15:19 +0000 UTCI would make sure supports are turned off. Also, check for a setting called something like "make overhangs printable" as that can cause all kinds of weird issues. Aside from those settings, it could be hard to say. You can send me pics, as well as info about what printer and settings you are using to help@matmiremakes.com If you can include your gcode export, that could be very helpful too.

2025-09-26 16:43:24 +0000 UTCNo clue why but my legs fuse together to the body and I can't rotate the rear hoofs or the front at all without snapping

2025-09-23 18:48:22 +0000 UTCit would be handy if the legs were printed separate, that way someone could print more of them in a batch saving on filament waste

2025-09-23 00:39:07 +0000 UTCWill there be a Spanish bull in your performance? I am looking forward to such a model.

2025-08-09 17:18:35 +0000 UTCIt’s just the most compact arrangement. So people with smaller printer, like the A1-Mini, can easily fit it.

2025-08-09 16:57:05 +0000 UTCThe placement of 3mf file is interesting. Is it your intention to use the body as a support mechanism for the head?

2025-08-09 16:54:19 +0000 UTCThis one is really beauty. However, it was unstable and difficult to stand upright. The joints were loose, especially in the main body. I'll reprint it and reduce the size; it might work for me. I printed it on an X1C..

2025-08-04 13:34:51 +0000 UTCOMG that is TOO cute. As a Scot I am very happy with this make. Might have to print this for our friends who run an animal sanctuary and have two Highland coos.

2025-08-01 12:43:50 +0000 UTCNot to nitpick- but a suggestion may be to make the highland cows back end a little rounder; smoothing out the prominent Holstein boney hips. Also an optional Licky face with the tongue sticking out or even licking its nose would be fantastic!

2025-07-31 03:14:29 +0000 UTCI want to say it was 75%, if I'm remembering correctly.

2025-07-30 18:14:59 +0000 UTCHi can I ask what scale/size is cow number 4?

2025-07-30 17:27:54 +0000 UTCThis is gorgeous. On the printer now. Thank you so much!

2025-07-30 01:55:14 +0000 UTCWell, I think there comes a time in every maker's Patreon where there must be a Highland Cow 😅 I think I have 7 different ones now. But yours is my favorite

2025-07-30 00:22:48 +0000 UTCYes!!! As a Dutchie, I thought the cow was a fabulous addition. I was quietly rooting for a Highlander though - if anyone can capture that shaggy cuteness, it's you. So YAY!
