Colored, articulated tardigrade (no MMU)

This model is one from my extensive Children's Toys Collection.

The author of the original model writes: “Discover the charm of our adorable Tardigrade figure, perfect for biology and microbe enthusiasts!”

My thanks for that. Your model is really nice.

Because I don't have an MMU but still want to see color accents, I created this remix. Eyes and mouth can be printed separately in any colors that suit your taste. Simply fix both with a drop of super glue.

Note: Because I am printing the figure as a toy for a small child, I scaled the original by a factor of 2. Only at this size are the (invisible) joints inside sufficiently stable. However, you should not leave small children unattended while playing with it.

Printing information

The STL files are correctly aligned.

Layer height: 0.15mm
Infill: 15% (I prefer gyroid)
Support: none

The color change for the eyes occurs at 10.1 mm.

I am looking forward to your Makes! :-)
