TIKO

I’m pleased to introduce TIKO, the playful little dog full of curiosity and energy. He’s part of the Arkitektoy universe — born from Puzlo, the building set I’ve been developing for many years..

No screws, no glue — just pure assembly pleasure with square dowels. You can build, unbuild, and rebuild him endlessly.

Description

Tiko is composed of 20 main parts (including a tiny nose) assembled with 14 dowels and 4 snap-fit connectors.

Technical Specifications

Model shown: W = 54 mm | L = 126 mm | H = 160 mm Estimated filament usage (including dowels): ~165 g

What’s included:

• Two ready-to-print 3MF build plates

  • Plate 1: main body parts (belly, neck, central block, tail, logo, etc.)
  • Plate 2: small pieces (nose, connectors and dowels)

• All individual STL files, already oriented in their optimal print position

• Print Guides (PDFs in French and English)

• Educational module EduLab 1 (PDFs in French and English), to understand and fine-tune dowel fits.

• Assembly Instructions (PDFs in French and English)

• Bill Of Materials (BOM)

Eco-Friendly Filament

Printed in natural PHA from Bosk-Regen in Québec — a fully compostable material made from renewable sources. Its soft, matte finish gives Tiko a warm, lifelike presence — somewhere between play and sculpture.

Nozzle: 0.4 mm

Layer height: 0.15 mm (small pieces on plate 2) or 0.20 mm (bigger pieces on plate 1)

Speed: Slow for small pieces on plate 2.

Supports: Only under the cantilevered areas (nose and neck)

Infill: 18%–24%

Dowel Adjustment

Assembly

Follow the Assembly Instructions (PDF included) — or assemble him freely for a more playful challenge. Once complete, you’ll discover his true personality.

Scalable

The model can be rescaled to different print sizes. Keep in mind that dowel dimensions must always be re-tested when scaling up or down.

Post-Processing

No post-processing is required, but you may print the parts in different colors if you wish to personalize Tiko.

Tiko was born between your hands — a joyful reminder that creation begins with play.
