Samy – The Grumpy Smartphone

Meet Samy, the smartphone that is permanently stuck in a bad mood!

We’ve all had those days where technology just seems to turn against us, but Samy takes it to a whole new level. He is tired of endless scrolling, cracked screens, and being dropped on the floor. With his arms crossed, a deep scowl on his face, and a rugged, battle-worn look, Samy is the perfect desk companion to express how we all feel during a stressful workday or a lagging internet connection.

This model captures a brilliant blend of robotic details and expressive, organic facial features. Whether you keep him on your desk as a reminder to take a break, or print him as a unique gift for a tech lover, Samy is guaranteed to turn heads and spark conversations!

Print & Model Specifications

• Height: 10 cm (approx. 3.9 inches)
• Layer Height: 0.16 mm (perfect for capturing fine textures and print layers)
• Infill: 8% Gyroid (provides excellent structural strength while saving filament)
• Finish: Hand-painted with acrylics (dry-brushing and washes highly recommended to bring out his grumpy expression and the robotic textures!)

Crucial Support Removal & Bed Adhesion Tips

⚠️ ATTENTION BEFORE REMOVING SUPPORTS: To ensure you do not damage any of the delicate details (especially around the arms and feet), do not try to pull or pinch the supports directly off in one go. Instead, gently cut or pinch them only halfway through. This creates a clean stress-crack/breakpoint, allowing them to snap off effortlessly. I highly recommend using a small pair of flush cutters (side cutters) to assist you.

Additionally, make sure your build plate is thoroughly cleaned with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) before starting the print to guarantee perfect first-layer adhesion!
