Perry the Platypus Speaker Attachments

This print goes along with this tik tok that I made (Noticed by Dan Povenmire himself) https://www.tiktok.com/@zach_rodgers12/video/7204217058396048683

I've been planning on doing this print for a while. I now own my very own Perry the Platypus speaker. The speaker is a JBL Flip 3 in teal color. I just attached the bill and the eyes with some velcro and the speaker just goes right into the bottom. And of course, the hat just sits on top.

Here is a link to amazon for the speaker if you really want to make one of these. https://www.amazon.com/JBL-FLIP-Waterproof-Portable-Bluetooth/dp/B08K2T4JFQ/ref=sxin_26_pa_sp_search_thematic-asin_sspa?content-id=amzn1.sym.139755fc-e653-4f77-9e36-97d145a75e7c%3Aamzn1.sym.139755fc-e653-4f77-9e36-97d145a75e7c&crid=24PJ8Z91EDRJM&cv_ct_cx=jbl+flip+speaker&keywords=jbl+flip+speaker&pd_rd_i=B08K2T4JFQ&pd_rd_r=882d3383-5ad5-467d-b484-4902db56e8c2&pd_rd_w=cvqO2&pd_rd_wg=ToGfC&pf_rd_p=139755fc-e653-4f77-9e36-97d145a75e7c&pf_rd_r=6ZED0B6V6CDN03ZBT1NZ&qid=1678133371&sprefix=jbl+flip+speaker%2Caps%2C117&sr=1-4-4a643ae4-6005-4b15-bc31-2c5125e2b25b-spons&psc=1

Each of these pieces is connected with general purpose stick-on velcro. I got mine at office depot, here is a link on amazon. I got a slightly smaller pack but this is just fine too. https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-Mounting-Adhesive-Organization/dp/B099S34SVW/ref=sr_1_20?crid=M0HI1O79KLMT&keywords=stick%2Bon%2Bvelcro&qid=1678133165&sprefix=stick%2Bon%2Bvelcro%2Caps%2C163&sr=8-20&th=1

I made the bill and eyes in Blender and the bottom in fusion 360. Sorry for the weird instructions.

For the Bill

• You should get a pop-up message saying to convert the unit type to inches, say yes
• Increase the scale to 150%
• Supports everywhere
• It's not a perfect fit but it works out just fine because the velcro leaves some space

For the Bottom

• Unfortunately, it may not fit on a smaller print bed
• Rotate X-45 degrees
• Rotate Z-90 degrees (that’s how I got it to fit on mine)
• No supports needed for this one
• The print will probably take a while

For the Eyes

• No size adjustments are needed
• Supports everywhere
• In the slicer, I did a filament change right around the end to get his brown eyes. You can choose to do this or just paint on the brown.

For the Hat The hat is not my design. It was designed by The_Dark_Knight. Here is the link https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1563217

• Slight rotating (Y rotated 1.5 ish degrees) is needed because it's not quite flat
• Sclade down to 69% (what better size)
• Supports everywhere
• In the slicer, I put two filament changes for the black band
