would you have any recommendation on upsizing the slider turtle for 8mm eyes? I can probably figure it out, but if you have the information it would be a lot faster. Also if you ever get into birds, I have been searchine for a quality Minnesota common Loon.
try 135% scale and see if that works. should be around 8.1mm. don't print the full turtle yet split it to parts deleted everything except the head and scale that to 135% as a test.
just ran a test head and the 135% worked perfectly if anyone else is wondering.
thank you so much!!
love this, would love to see more turtles.. maybe soft shell or tortoise :)
Does this one scale down at all?
you can the issue is the glass eyes but there is a non glass eyes version
Hey mate love the prints. they all work great. Mate just wondering if there are any plans for more Australian animals or if you do custom orders ? was thinking like Black-headed python, Blue-tongued skink, Eastern long-necked turtle, Emerald tree monitor, red belly black snake, red belly black snake and more
Thank you for the recommendations! Iβve been doing the animas I get requested more often :) you are not the first to request Australian animals :)
I love how life-like they all look and are great for education purposes. Will be on the look out for more from you. Thank-you!
I just upload a blue tongue skink let me know how you like it :)
I mentioned this on the Aligator Snapping turtle page. Any chances on doing some tortoises or other turtles? Models look great, looking forward to printing this one because I have one as a pet.
Yes very likely :) I have so many designs I want to make!
Awesome, an African Side-Necked turtle is one of the coolest ones
