Articulated Octopus/Octopus balls

thingiverse

This work is a very fascinating object. The octopus itself is printed with various colors of wire, using the original wire color to represent the finished product. Because it's printed in primary colors, it doesn't require any supports or polishing, so it won't need coloring, and it can be played directly after printing without removing any supporting materials. When printing an octopus, you need to pay attention to the first few layers. By slowing down a bit, you can ensure that they adhere perfectly, making it almost guaranteed for success. In the original design, a file is included to support small hanging parts of the mouth, allowing you to complete the project more smoothly and beautifully without opening any supports. As I looked at it, I thought of octopus balls, so I suddenly wanted to create a series of octopus balls. Using simple instructions from SolidWorks, I modeled them, and with my printing experience, I was able to disassemble the parts easily. This made it possible to print them quickly, and by using coating thickness, I met the assembly requirements. It's just what I needed to make up for the tolerance problems caused by shrinkage and other issues, resulting in an absurd yet fascinating work.
