#3DTakoTuesday : The Mood Octopus

thingiverse

Meet #3DTakoTuesday, a cute and stackable octopus with various expressive eye options tailored to fit your mood. This design is inspired by Japanese culture, where "Tako" (Japanese for octopus) plays a significant role. I created this project to hone my skills in Fusion 360 and am excited to share it with you. If you enjoy my designs or wish to support my learning journey, feel free to drop me a tip. THANK YOU for your appreciation! I look forward to seeing the amazing creations you'll make! The main octopus parts are designed to be printed without supports and do not require a multi-color/filament printer. However, some of the eyes will take advantage of the filament change technique, where the print is paused at a specific layer height, allowing for a color swap before resuming. This can be achieved with: * PrusaSlicer using [color change](https://blog.prusaprinters.org/prusaslicer-2-release/#10) * Cura using: Extensions > Post processing > Modify G-code > Add a script > filament change * [Prusa's ColorPrint webapp](https://blog.prusaprinters.org/color-print/) ("G-code is supported from Slic3r, Cura, KISSlicer and Simplify3D.") # Accessories Customization doesn't stop at the eyes!

The amount of clearance depends on your printer's accuracy, as too small a value might prevent the lips/eyes from fitting into the body, while too large a value will result in loose-fitting parts. ### 3dtakotuesday.bottom.mm.stl This is the bottom or underside of the octopus's tentacles. ### 3dtakotuesday.lips.mm.stl This is the octopus's lips part, requiring no brim for printing but feel free to use one if you encounter bed adhesion issues. ### 3dtakotuesday.top.mm.stl This is the top of the octopus's head.
