Dash the Mouse

thingiverse

I lovingly hand-carved Dash the Mouse from wood for my newborn daughter. Initially aiming to create a single adorable animal, scanning and printing have transformed Dash into the second most endearing infestation ever. The original scan features a string tail, but it makes for a fragile print. If you're making a kid's toy, I highly recommend using the second model with a hole for the tail, then gluing a string in after printing. I officially started carving Dash three months before my daughter was born, and she didn't receive it until her first birthday. It turns out carving wood for the first time is really challenging. Please refer to Mitch Hedberg for the #1 cutest infestation ever.
