I was asked to 3D Print Mario's for a young boys Mario themed Birthday Party. My search found some simple and a few more complex multiple part Mario's, will start with some simple Mario's. Then print a few of the multiple piece color Mario I will post my Prints as they come off the hot plate.
The simple prints will need to be painted to look good, though this will be done by someone who can actually paint.
This Simple Model needs to be painted.
This model prints in pieces using the filament color.
By the way have not purchased filament for a few years an the first printed models. Are being printed with filament I forgot to remove from the Printer from the last time I printed a model.

these are awesome...would be even easier with a mmu2s or pallette so you could just print in multiple colours.

Considering some users of other forums told me that my cheap Chinese 3D Hictop Printer were worthless. I think my 3D Printers are assume.. I can 3D Print just as well using ABS with Both Hictop's inside my home made enclosure.

looking great...and nothing wrong with a cheap offshore printer...with enough care and attention they can be made to work just as well as a higher end printer, and even the "garbage" printers are great for learning. my first printer as a popular chinese brand and I put more into repairs and upgrades than I did into buying my prusa, but it was a great learning experience and I had a lot of fun with it. plus, what if I wound up not being interested in the hobby after trying it...I'd rather decide I don't like 3D printing after buying a couple hundred dollar printer rather than giving up after buying an expensive one...

Knew this.
Was thinking about getting a third 3D Printer, wish I had more 3D Printing to do.
Maybe I should print some of my personal models and take them to the nearest thrift store see if they sell.

Having a little bit of a problem with this next model sticking to the build plate. I have decided to place the Vinyl Transfer Paper Tape back on the build plate for this model, Rather than wasting time adjusting the leveling.
I find that the vinyl transfer paper tape works as good if not better than the painters tape an is applied with a single piece.

And the Finished Mario
I have change a statement made in this post.
I discovered that the problem was not adhesion it was erratic extrusion, I believe the extrude throat needs replaced as the Teflon coating again has deformed causing poor extrusion. Shown below
