Description

This is Feathers McGraw, the arch-villain from Wallace and Gromit in “The Wrong Trousers.” He also appears in the background of many other videos from Aardman studios.

Some creative options:

  • The glove COULD be printed in TPU. I haven't tested this, but I think it would give it a more rubbery appearance.
  • The strap also COULD be printed in TPU. The flex might make positioning the remote more flexible. I didn't bother to glue the strap to Feathers, since it hung just fine as-is.
  • I didn't make any indent for the glove, in case someone wants Feathers without the glove, and to give a little flexibility in positioning it.
  • Feathers has cold, dead, soul-less eyes. There are a couple of ways to emphasize this:
    • You can use clear model paint or nail polish to make the eyes a bit more glossy.
    • You could print the body in matte, then use the paint/polish to make even more of a contrast.
    • I didn't want to make separate eyes because they would be difficult to handle well.
  • Keep a de-burring knife handy. You'll want to print the antenna horizontally for strength; a de-burring knife will remove the support marks. 
  • Push the antenna black base up from the bottom of the antenna up to the nut. You can put a drop of glue on it near the end.

Please post makes and feedback! Enjoy Feathers!
