Description

Summary

I wanted to design my own octopus from scratch, so I made this one on tinkercad. I designed it to have more articulation in the tentacles than other ones I've seen. I also wanted the tentacles to hang down more and have suckers on the bottom. It turned out really fun. This version is in a spiral so you can make it larger on your build plate.

There are 2 different files, one without supports and one that I created with supports for the mouth.

You can also print the stand for it to go on. (3 different versions. My original test print, one that's a little taller, and one that's a little shorter)

Instead of tips, please let me know how these work for you and post pictures of your prints. I love reading your comments and seeing your makes!

I scaled it up to 234.421% (that's as big as it could go on my MakerBot), and printed with 4 shells. It turned out awesome, but my homemade support for the mouth didn't work as well as I had hoped. It ended up breaking off the bottom of the mouth. I've had no problems with the support on smaller versions of this print.
