Easy to print model of a Tortoise for your smartphone

Also as a:

• full model , without place for a phone
• keyring

There are files for multicolor print (body, shell, shell shields, claws, eyes) but you can also paint the base model if you like And files for printing in parts on single-extruder printer (body + eyes)

If you want to sell prints of this model you can buy a Commercial License Membership for all of my models on Thangs

Number in file names is a space for a phone in milimeters For a phone thickness of 8-16mm - they are also on the bottom of models to show what size it is after a print

To resize the models use the equasion: 'Needed space (in milimeters)' divided by 'model number' multiplied by 100% = 'Needed model size in percent' For example if you need more stable 16mm you can take 10mm version resized to: 16 / 10 * 100% = 160%

Suitable with a phone set horizontally and vertically (tested with a 12mm thick phone) The smaller the gap between the print and a phone the more stable the phone stand is You can resize smaller version to the bigger size for more stabbility

The gap for a phone is cut with 12dgr angle

KEYRING To make a keyring use a Tortoise model of your choice and add there a keyring model - then merge both models Keyring models are with a 'frame', a flat surface that will not be printed. This way it is easy to set it in the right spot with a model - Ignore model 'errors' and DO NOT try to 'fix' the model

Keayring-Slim is a thinner version Use it for a smaller rings on chain

PARTS version There are holes for eyes (wich are in sepparate file) in the model If eyes are hard to push in the holes you can use a sandpaper or print eyes with XY compensation (horizontal expansion) - try -0.02 or -0.05

MULTICOLOR version Select files: Body, Claw, Eyes, Shell, Shell-shields - then drop them in the slicer and click 'yes' if asked to merge the models (if there is no notification you will need to merge it by yourself - use right click menu) You will need to add a Tortoise_MULTI_Negative.. model as negative volume to print a phone stand - just right click on the merged model and 'add negative volume'

I printed it with 2 colors (had no good colors for more) With 3 (different body color) or 4 (different eyes and claws colors) it may look even better

Printed with 0.16 and 0.26mm (multicolor) layer height 2-3 walls NO supports needed No need of infill but use it if you want a stronger print (I used 10% gyroid)
