Articulated Sea Turtle | Pre-Painted + Optional 6mm Glass Eye Version
🐢 Sea Turtles — gentle ocean travelers brought to life as detailed, articulated flexy designs inspired by real coastal species. These models capture the rounded shells, textured flippers, and calm, low-to-the-ground posture that make sea turtles so instantly recognizable.
Each turtle features smooth articulation through the neck and flippers, allowing them to rest naturally on sand, shelves, or displays. The sculpt emphasizes realistic shell patterning and soft body transitions while remaining clean and reliable to print.

I love the colors on this one, looks better than the one i made :)
Thank you. The body and shell are ZIRO Tri Colour matte called "Desert" and "Rusted Jungle" from an Australian supplier "Siddament" The brown was replaced with Anycubic Matte Caramel.
Love your creations - wonderful work! One quick question from your description. In the gradient shell version, is the military gradient color meant to replace both shades of brown from the orange/brown version? I like the way yours looks and want to mimic it as much as possible. Thanks.
Yes thats right the gradient will make it look like multiple colors
This print is FANTASTIC!! Thank You for another of your wonderfully creative creations. Quick question regarding the Sea Turtle design; I have MANY 8mm glass eyes I would like to use on this print. Is there a way I can enlarge the print so that the eye socket can accept an 8mm glass eye instead of the 6mm it's originally designed for? Is it as simple as increasing the overall dimensions of the whole print by 2mm (LoLoLoLz)?
make the file 135% larger it will then fit 8mm eyes.
Thank You!
