Introducing my articulated Manatee design!
These gentle giants frequent coastal waterways, and are also known as by the nickname "sea cow".
This critter prints in two parts. Print the Body and Head, then snap-fit them together. Here's a quick Demo Video to show how it works.
Multicolor 3mf included (works in PrusaSlicer and Bambu Studio)!!
Please, share photos of your makes! I would love to see them!

Visit my Amazon Storefront for links to the Filaments & Equipment I used. . . Printing Details:
- Body: Print-in-Place. No supports needed. There is a small pre-support under the head ball joint. Remove and discard it after printing
- Head: No supports needed. There is a small custom brim around the head to help with adhesion. Remove and discard it after printing
- Multicolor 3MF (Compatible with PrusaSlicer and Bambu Studio)
- 10%-15% Infill (I recommend Gyroid, Crosshatch or 3D Honeycomb)
- 3 Walls. (Assuming 0.4mm nozzle. Adjust wall count to account for alternate nozzle sizes)
This should generally scale down to about 60% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer. Your mileage may vary.
*This model was designed for FDM printing. It was not designed for Resin printing, and I cannot guarantee good/functional results. Resin print at your own risk.
Attention: Not suitable for unsupervised play by small children or pets, as small parts can pose a choking hazard if broken off due to rough play. Not recommended for children under 3.
