Stress Peep - A TPU Stress Ball With a Crunch

This has got to be the weirdest thing I've ever made.

A hollow Peeps bunny rabbit, made of TPU, filled with filament waste/poop. Oddly, it was an incredibly satisfying feeling taking my first squeeze on this; The audible crunch of filament particles getting wrecked is beyond your wildest fantasies.

Seriously, we're going to have to use video to fully appreciate this:

Wasn't that just satisfying? Seriously, you gotta try it.

So, I printed mine in white TPU since that's what I had on hand:

Slapped a coat of acrylic yellow paint on there, and then 3 dots of… whatever the color that was left over after my kids mixed EVERY color of paint together, and there you go!

If you don't have white (or any TPU at all) order some sort of pastel colored TPU, and you won't even have to dabble in painting it at all.

HOW:

• Simple: At a layer of your choosing, while the ears are half printed (Mine profile I believe has a PAUSE function inserted at layer line 437 or something):

• If you're printing from the STL, simply right click the green bar on the right after you've dragged down the top of the green bar, and choose to add a pause function:

• This will park your print head above the poop chute, and bring the temperature of the nozzle down to something safe automatically. At this time, you simply insert the filament waste.

• It's really easy. Don't worry too much about the ears moving around while you're mashing the stuff in; As long as you're not deforming the ears with waste filament, it should be able to resume just fine.

Enjoy!
