Evil Minions!

Evil Minions Are Here! Not much different then the regulars, but I adjusted their trousers a little and added them mean underbite with some snarly teeth. I did notice that the arms are a bit tight when using silk pla. That's all I had for purple. A number 20 drill bit at very slow speed, just in and out of the body works perfect to get the tension just right. Even a #19 works too for regular pla.

Now on to the hair. It is quite difficult and putzy. This is the process I used. See pics for a better visual.

First I chose a small metal pipe, close to the size that the "hair line" around the head would be.

Take a large round object, like a blue tape roll, and wrap around several times with a zip tie or wire underneath. The amount of times around will depend on the size tube you have.

Slip both ends of the tie or wire into the tube and out the other end. Pull the "hair" off the spool, the use the tie to pull the "hair" thru the tube, just out the other side.

Cut this end off so the all the ends are single, and not a loop. I used a sharp exacto knife, but scissors work also.

Use extra thick super glue on top of the minions head, about where the hair line would be. Spray the end of the tube with the "hair" with super glue activator. Press the two together, being careful not to get the glue on the tube.

Once dry, pull a little out, cut off, and repeat until the thread is gone from the tube.
