These Squishy Mushrooms came to life while I was designing my Fidget Garden. After some brief research and consulting with my family, it was decided mushrooms were not a traditional garden vegetable so they were voted out of the planter box BUT they were too cute not to finish and upload separately 🍄

They come in two sizes and each prints in two parts: a cap and a springy stem.

Dimensions of Small Mushroom (assembled): 1 ⅞ in. X 1 ¾ in.

Dimensions of Large Mushroom (assembled): 2 ¼ in x 1 ⅞ in

PLA works great

Layer Height 0.2mm

Infill 10-15%

No supports needed

Print Plate #1: Large Mushroom cap & Small Mushroom cap (2 colors, red and white)

Print Plate #2: Large Stem & Small Stem

Print Plate #3: Large Mushroom cap & Small Mushroom cap (1 color)

* Print Plate #1 is a multicolor print. To minimize the waste/purge I set the flushing volumes to a multiplier of 0.30. (In testing these prints, I tried flushing volumes with a multiplier of 0.6, 0.5, 0.4 and 0.3. You can see the results in my photos. I was pretty pleased with the 0.3 results so that is the value I set in my print profiles.) Depending on the colors you choose, you can adjust it however you like:) Also, I selected to flush into objects infill in the settings to also help with purge waste.

(5/30/24) I added print files of both a Big & Small Mushroom Cap with no spots. No changes were made to the Big & Small Mushroom Stems:)
