This is a set of pieces that can be used to recreate the Monkey figure at 500% scale.  This figure was introduced as part of the Black Seas Barracuda set  in 1989 and appeared in 37 more sets between 1989 - 2011.

All of the stl files needed to create this have been included in the "stl files" folder below.

For those with Bambu printers, there is a Bambu project files located in the “Bambu Projects” folder to simplify things even further.  This file contains the parts in an ideal orientation for printing.  Parts that need painting have been painted in this file as well.  Note that you will need BambuStudio to open or work with this.

The arms and hands for this minifg were taken and remixed from the Brick MegaFigure published by Julia Ebert.  The changes made to the original design are:

  • All parts were scaled down 50% to work with other models we've published at a 5:1 scale from original parts
  • At 50% scale, the pins were difficult to work with (and really not needed) so these were removed from the print list (Glue was still used to attach the connectors to their respective parts)
  • Modified the hands to print with their connectors attached (This will require supports but eliminates the need to glue these pieces).

The basic instructions for assembling the figure can be found in Julia's post. This is a fantastic model that's easy to print and assemble.  Special thanks to Julia for sharing this work!

The main body part for the monkey (2550) was taken from thal72's Printables profile, scaled to 500%, and modified to work with the arms above. He has a massive library of brick parts available at this location.  If you wish to do any additional customization to this model, this is a fantastic resource to find additional parts.  Special thanks to him as well for sharing this work!

If you decide to print this, we'd love to see it.  Please post pics of your makes, and please consider liking this design by clicking the "like" link above.

Happy Building!!
