This was a fun print for the kiddos. The only thing that I don’t understand is the limited time download in the title. You should keep it on MakerWorld.

psychology trick. it make a "rush" to catch it if you know it's a "limited (time, discount, whatever)". like writing "few pieces left" on a sale... even if it's not real, even if you probably don't need it, you will rush to grab it. psychology trick, that's all.

I didn't plan on posting it on MW but I wanted it to be a free file for a short period of time before it moves to a paid platform exclusively. Which I have done with several models in the past BUT I just read in the terms you aren't allowed to do limited time models so... they will stay ( :

Replying to @sugarpaws3d :
Once shared "for free sample" i don't think it will be private anymore 😅 i mean... It's online now. It's a good thing for your patreon, if you keep it as it's now, so the "later" users will maybe find your patreon linked to this one and sub for other models (just my "2cents" opinion, of course)

I made the full-sized pre-colored one at 75%. I used whatever matte PLA I had around, with matte PLA+ for the eyes, and printed a perfect bit of squiggly cuteness to hand off when visiting a child. Easy peasy. Thank you!

This is a fun little print. I made this on my P1S using the filament it came with. (pla basic) I didn't change any settings.

Great and cute model. Next time I'll define dynamic layer heights at 0.08 for the rounded tops though for a smoother top.
