Description

🐙
Articulated Goofy Octopus.
Printed and assembled model is approximately 30cm in diameter.
Fits on A1 mini plate.

Eyes print separately to avoid wasteful color swaps.
Tentacles are compatible with this non-goofy octopus version as well.

NOTE: The default profile prints a 1-layer grid on the bottom. This grid is very easy to remove and improves print reliability when printing the small segments in the tentacles.

After printing
- Please wait for the plate to cool down before removing the print as it consists of some small, delicate parts.

- Plug eyes into the head. They should fit tightly, but glue might be necessary depending on your filament choice and printer settings.
- Plug the tentacles in the head. It was designed to be a press fit, but, again, glue might be necessary depending on your filament choice and printer settings.

General 3d Printing Tips

Make sure your printing plate is clean! Oils from your skin will cause adhesion issues for your prints. Regularly wash your print plate with a detergent like Dawn and avoid touching the surface when removing prints from the bed.
If it's an option on your printer, always opt to level the bed before each print. If you have to perform this manually, make sure you do this after every few prints. It takes a bit of time and patience, but it's a fair trade for reliable prints.
Ensure bed and nozzle temperatures are within the expected range for the material you are printing. Temperatures that are too high or too low will affect the print negatively by causing warping, malformed layers or adhesion issues.
Reduce your printing speed. Slower print speed is especially important for overhangs because it gives the material more time to cool as it's deposited.

printed the tentacles and start clumping about an hour left on them. printed the body and eye by object, body failed as spaghetti, switch to only main body and switched to print by layer, still spaghettied lol

Sorry but no idea how to help you. The model is clearly not the issue, but if you post pictures I can try to help. As a guess for now, it sounds like things are coming off the plate. You need to wash it with a degreaser like Dawn and never touch it with your fingers. The octopus body sits flat on the plate. If your printer can't print that, you probably can't print anything else on makerworld. https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/filament-acc/acc/pei-plate-clean-guide

Replying to @cfactor :

are you using a cool plate ? or textured. I've made sure my beds are clean as well. the picture is literal speggeti. maybe I'll swap hot ends, using silk at 220 and my print speed is also reduced, layer height is .16. my best guess is it's sliced on a different plate then I'm using.

@cfactor

Replying to @user_3183032041 :

The profile already includes variable layer height. Because I publish my models here, everything is use is just a stock setup so textured plate. I would try to bump up the temperature for silk. I usually print silk at 230. Another consideration is that your parts cooling fan may not be working properly. It would cause any and all overhangs to fail consistently. I would try to print a temp tower like this one: https://makerworld.com/en/models/54325?from=search#profileId-56042

Great model and prints perfectly. The grid is a great idea for adhesion but it’s a pain to debur each section of each leg..especially as a printed a few for my Daughters friends.

The designer has replied

@cfactor

Thank you for the boost! Glad to see you like the model! The grid seemed the best compromise between having much larger links, or a brim, which would be much worse to remove, or print failures which are just demoralizing and a big nope for me. Regardless... I completely understand how you feel about it. This was box 1 of 2 for the office. 😅

Shiny octopus! It printed well, but I didn’t like that the tentacles printed in a “kit” fashion. it was annoying getting all the pieces out.

The designer has replied

@cfactor

Thank you for rating and the feedback. Unfortunately without the grid the tentacles had the tendency to release from the plate during a print and ruin the entire process, often 5+ hours into it. The grid seemed a fair trade in inconvenience for the sake of reliability. I usually just trim them quickly with an xacto knife. There's a remix here that uses different tentacle (with larger segments) that does not require the support grid, but that will still fit into the slots for this head. https://makerworld.com/en/models/643152
