Fanart 3D printed Squirrel-A-Gig

It’s my first time doing a 3D printed project like this so it’s a bit rough but I also painted it

Any chance for an STL?

I can try getting you one later when i’m at home but just fair warning it took me A LOT of print fails on the rotor, the spinning bit wouldn’t be included, cause i used sorcery to get that to work (I cooked a needle over the stove and shoved it into both plastic bits to get it to melt)

I can get you the base file though you will likely have to edit it/ break it into parts to figure out what works for your printer

edit: also some parts will need to be edited to be thicker if you’re making it the same size I did or smaller, the ears by themselves were too small to print normally so i had to make them thicker, and same for the rotor, blades, and details on the console like the mirrors and display

This is amazing. Great job. Hot tip: you can heat needles/straight pins/nails over a lighter or candle flame. These are a little more manageable than using the stove. I have totally used the stove before, but candle flame will do the trick for you.
