**Introducing my Squirrel design!!** 

 A little something extra for the Holiday season, this design comes with an alternate head wearing a **Santa Hat!!**

I'm trying something a little different with this design, utilizing more of the Connector joints for added posing options.  As a result, this one has a bit more snap-fit assembly required when compared to my other designs, but I think it's worth it for the added benefits.  Additionally, I designed a simple tool I'm calling the "ConnectorHelper".  It can be used to add a bit more leverage and a larger pressing surface when inserting the Connector pins. Here's a [Demo Video](https://tinyurl.com/yh4naehe) that shows the assembly!

Multicolor 3MF included (Compatible with PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Orca Slicer, etc.)!

**Introducing my new Platypus design!** A true oddity of the natural world. The more you learn about these funny fellas, the weirder they get. My kind of critter.

It's fully print-in-place, and features a few mechanisms to allow the head to either move freely or pop into a slot that holds it in an upward looking pose. Here's a quick [demo video](https://youtu.be/SYsawWpqvkY) of how it works!

**Introducing my articulated Tortoise design!** It's been quite a fun challenge to design of a tortoise that could both stand and retract into it's shell!

It's fully print-in-place, you just have to crack the head free (similar to the bunny and tiger). To help him stand, there are small ball and socket joints on the ends of the legs. Just pull the legs out as far as you can, and they should snap into the position that will allow them to support it's weight. Then pop them back in to let him hide back in his shell. (The first few times might take some extra effort, but they should break-in nicely)

Here is a **[demo video](https://youtu.be/SYsawWpqvkY)** of the model!

Printing Details

-   Print-inPlace: no supports
-   Multicolor 3mf included! (will load in Bambu Studio or Prusa Slicer)
-   3 Walls
-   10% infill\
Pulling the legs out fully allows them to pop into sockets. That creates enough tension to make him stand up.  It may be difficult the first few times, but once it breaks-in, it should work with light effort.  The head has built in pre-supports, just twist the head after printing to crack the joint free.\
Here is a **[demo video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYsawWpqvkY)** of the print.\
This should generally scale down to about 60% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer. Your mileage may vary.

***Updated!...*** Multicolor 3mf file now included!

**Introducing the Ghost Crab!!** I've been wanting to make a crab for quite some time, so it was a lot of fun to design this fella.

This one is a little unique in that most of the joints are designed to hold their posing. The legs do wiggle and flop when in their print position, but twist them around into the standing position and the joints tighten, allowing the legs to hold the body up in many fun poses!

I created a [Demo Video](https://studio.youtube.com/video/YmVHAsbuGNE/edit) of how all the joints work, and how you can replace the legs if you want!

Please, share photos of your makes! I would love to see them!

**Printing Details**
**"GhostCrab_Full" A or B:** These versions are print-in place and ready to go, all in one STL/print.
- The"A" version has standard sized tolerances in the Leg socket joint
- The "B" version has slightly wider tolerances, in case your machine/filament prints with tolerances that are too tight.

**"Separated Parts" folder (Optional):** In this folder you will find the Body and all of the Legs separated out into individual STL files that will allow you to:
- set the legs to print in another color/filament.
- make fine scale adjustments to the legs for better tolerances.
- print individual legs to replace failed parts.

**"Tolerance_Test_Print" (Optional):** [Video Demo](https://youtu.be/0amDkrg1N9c)
- A very fast print with both "A" and "B" leg tolerances. Print it to help choose which works best for you!

- **Multicolor 3MFs:** (Compatible with PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Orca based slicers)
-3 Walls (when using 0.4 mm nozzle. 2 Walls with 0.6mm)\
-10-15% infill (I like Gyroid)

This should generally scale down to about 70% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer. YMMV

**I hope you like my new Ferret design!** This fella has a new feature that adds another level of fun and posing, belly muscles! Well, not really... but if you simply add a rubber band to special channels along it's belly, it adds the tension needed to keep him standing with his belly off of the ground, yet he still remains super-flexible! Please watch [**This Video**](https://youtu.be/fj8n6YVZI5k) for a demonstration of the model and the proper way to string up the rubber band (it needs to be twisted between each link to work correctly).

In addition, he comes with optional belly extension links, so that you can make your Ferret belly as long as you want! I personally prefer one added extension. They come in two version, style A and B. Both are functionally identical, but have slightly different texturing so that the fur pattern doesn't repeat.

**Updated:* Newer Multicolor 3MF with more fur pattern detailing.

**PRINTING DETAILS**
A few of the parts have small connective "anchors" on the first layer to help with bed adhesion. You will need to trim them away before adding the rubber bands.

I use size #12 rubber bands (same size as used in my Bat design), [like these here.](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0035GE3YA?asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1TNMBMGM4SU9F&th=1&qty=1&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&linkCode=ll1&tag=matmiremakes-20&linkId=41fc328f5170fec5d81f12c8c812723d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl)***

- **Head:** Snap-Fit to Body. Pre-Supported for easy printing. No additional support needed. Remove the neck clip pre-support after printing.
- **BodyFront:** Print-In-Place. Snap-Fit to BodyRear or Extensions.
- **BodyRear:** Print-In-Place. Snap-Fit to BodyFront or Extensions.
- **ExtensionA & ExtensionB (optional):** Make the body longer by inserting these in between BodyFront and BodyRear! The only difference between the two is the fur texture, so that you can avoid a repeated fur pattern.
- **Tail:** Snap-Fit to BodyRear.
- **Multicolor 3MFs:** Compatible with PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Orca based slicers. *(for Orca based slicers… it's often better to use File>Import rather than Open Project, so that it doesn't import any printer specific presets/settings.)*
- 5%-15% Infill.
- 3 Walls.
- This should generally scale down to about 65% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer. YMMV

Please watch **[This Video](https://youtu.be/fj8n6YVZI5k)** for a demonstration of the model and the proper way to string up the rubber band.

**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.
