I’ve actually never made a St. Patrick’s–related model before, but someone suggested this idea and I thought it could be cool for people who celebrate it 🙂

So here he is - Bad Leprechaun!

I always strive to design my models as multipart builds, but making this one completely multipart didn’t go well for me this time. To print it in multicolor, you’ll need a multi-color printer.

There are two pre-colored 3MF files for the Leprechaun: One fully colored version One partial version (which saves some filament on the black eyes and buttons)

There is also a separate pre-colored 3MF file for the hat.

Printing: You’ll need supports for the Leprechaun, the clover, and the hat - organic/tree supports are recommended.

A fully colored Leprechaun generates a fair amount of waste. If you're already printing in full multicolor, I recommend printing 2–3 at once - the additional filament cost per extra model is relatively small and worth it.

The hat sits on the head but isn’t shake-resistant. If you want it to be permanent, use a small amount of glue.

Partial 3MF Version:

The eyes and buttons need to be press-fitted tightly. If you experience fitting issues, try scaling the model down by 2–3%.
