Fred The Frog Butt Thicc Hollow Container With Screw-on Lid

thingiverse

This is a hollow **frog container** with a screw-on head and a big butt, for extra storage. To make it, I hollowed out Fred the Frog (thicc version) using Meshmixer, plane-cut the head off at 45 degrees somewhere near the neck, and then grafted the very superb threads from the Threaded Container model because they are forgiving at nearly any size. Thanks to [@Xx_SushiCat_xX](https://www.thingiverse.com/xx_sushicat_xx/designs) [@TheBrotherBean](https://www.thingiverse.com/thebrotherbean/designs) and [@Engineering_Aesthetics](https://www.thingiverse.com/engineering_aesthetics/designs) for their very fine work. At full print size (approx 9 x 9 x 8 inches), the walls are 5 mm thick and sturdy. Neck hole is big enough to put a hand through it. If the frog is printed at 25% size, it comes to be about 2 inches tall and 2-3 mm thick. At small size, the head screws on nearly perfectly aligned with body. However, at a 100% large print size, the head overshoots by about 37 - 45 degrees. To make the large head align perfectly with body when screwing it on, you can use small bits of self-adhesive velcro felt, like the round coins pictured and the head stops fairly satisfyingly. Otherwise, cut the threads off from the model, and rotate them by -37 to -45 degrees. Printed with Anycubic Vyper, PLA 1.75 @ 80 mm/s speed, 200 degree extrusion temperature, 0.2 mm layer height, 10% infill, brim only, no supports. When slicing/printing the head, rotate it 45 degrees so it's set down flat on the surface. Body print time: 40 hours. Head print time: 16.5 hours. It prints out well at large, medium and small sizes, but there is a small patch at the bottom of the neck thread that turns stringy because that one part could use a pinch of support. Despite the small stringing area, none of the 9 prints failed. It took only a small amount of cleanup and it didn't affect screwing the head on, so I didn't touch it.
