Cute Octopus Shell Free 3D print model

cgtrader

This is MakerBot's "Cute Octopus Says Hello" model (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:27053), now transformed with custom slicing to make it print as a sleek shell without a base. By hollowing out the Cute Octopus, you can install an LED inside to create a glowing nightlight or scale down the design to make a clever eraser-protector for your pencil! The third overturned octopus in the last picture showcases this specific hollow, floor-less slicing technique. The included files are .makerbot files, as that is currently the only method available to export the sliced hollow model from the MakerBot Desktop/MakerWare software. If you do not possess a MakerBot machine with an SD card, then you will need to slice it yourself from the original Cute Octopus model.
