#3DTakoTuesday : The Mood Octopus

prusaprinters

<p>Meet #3DTakoTuesday, a cute, stackable octopus with a variety of expressive eye options to fit your mood. "Tako" (たこ) is Japanese for octopus. I designed this to improve/practice my Fusion 360 skills. Feel free to drop me a tip if you like my designs or just want to support my learning. THANK YOU and enjoy! I am looking forward to seeing your makes!</p> <p>The main octopus parts are designed to be printed without supports and do not require a multi color/filament printer. Some of the eyes will make use of the filament change technique, where the print is paused at a certain layer height, so that the filament can be swapped before resuming. This can be done with:</p> <ul> <li>PrusaSlicer using <a href="https://blog.prusaprinters.org/prusaslicer-2-release/#10">color change</a></li> <li>Cura using: Extensions &gt; Post processing &gt; Modify G-code &gt; Add a script &gt; filament change</li> <li><a href="https://blog.prusaprinters.org/color-print/">Prusa's ColorPrint webapp</a> ("G-code is supported from Slic3r, Cura, KISSlicer and Simplify3D.")</li> </ul> <h3>Accessories</h3> <p>The customization doesn't stop at the eyes!

The clearance determines the additional space for the holes for the eyes and lips. The amount of clearance depends on your printer's calibration/accuracy (too small of a clearance value might not allow the lips/eyes to fit into the body, while too large of a clearance value will make the lips/eyes fit too loosely).</p> <h3>3dtakotuesday.bottom.mm.stl</h3> <p>This is the bottom/underside of the octopus's tentacles.</p> <h3>3dtakotuesday.lips.mm.stl</h3> <p>This is the octopus's lips part. The file's orientation should not require a brim, but feel free to use one if you encounter bed adhesion issues.</p> <h3>3dtakotuesday.top.mm.stl</h3> <p>This is the top of the octopus's head.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>i3 MK3</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.15 mm layer height</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>10%</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>The 100% scale size should be printable on most printers, requiring a print area of 110 mm x110 mm.
