I wanted to make a large, printable, modular shelving unit to take advantage of gridfinity and honeycomb storage, so I designed this! I originally designed it to use M3 and M5 screws and heat set inserts, but have also included alternate files for all M3 screws screwing directly into the plastic. The sides, back, and bottom need to be printed on edge diagonally to fit onto a 256x256 print bed. The hex side walls should be printed flat on the print bed. Print them first, and then when printing the sides and back, put a pause command in the slicer to stop just before it starts the giant bridge and slide the hex walls in. They have an orientation, the hex holes should be larger on the inside of the shelf than the outside. The bottom shelves needed to be split in half to be printable, and I made the gridifinity baseplate print seperately and be pushed on to the shelf so that you wouldn't need any support. The sides have mounting holes for the shelves at the top and bottom for flexibilty. Clearance holes have a diamond top and bottom to avoid the layers interfering with clearance, holes that are being screwed into or are having heat sink inserts mounted in them don't have this to maximize surface area.

I've attached a fusion archive of the original project file. Feel free to tweak it for your own hardware or make whatever changes you need!

I asked my friend what I should make after making the octocat, and he said octobat! So here it is! I definitely learned a lot modeling it. There's a few different blender files here. OctobatArmed.blend has the model T-posing with bones that will let you position and pose it just the way you want for your own prints! Octobat.blend has the model before the subdivision making high poly is applied, making it much easier to change the model. OctobatPosedToPrint.blend is the model with the subdivision and pose applied. I hope this turned out more cute than horrifying! If you have any requests for stuff for me to model please let me know!

A friend of a friend made a friend of theirs a plush little octocat and it was adorable! So adorable I decided to model and render it! Then thought it would be cool to print, so here we are. It's intended to have buttons glued on for eyes, but I also attached the eye modes I did in the render. I also included a model with spheres cut out for eyes! Not as cute, but still pretty cute. I also attached the blender files, feel free to modify it or use it however you wish. It'd be nice to be credited though!

The stls are from OctocatToPrint.blend, which has some adjustments made to be more printer friendly, namely a flattened bottom and the bottom fake seam leveled so that you can switch filament colors there.
