Praise Kek the meme-lord, Shadilay friends! Check out this awesome frog model I created: https://sketchfab.com/models/fa5041e4b6f54b5ebc2f0d9dcc3d9073 You can buy your own 3D printed Kek Frog online at: Shapeways: https://www.shapeways.com/product/TC9KY6847/kek-frog?optionId=61498899&li=shop-inventory Sculpteo: https://www.sculpteo.com/en/print/kek-frog-7/PA9o5KgT?basket=1&noclickredirect=1 Here are the print settings I used: Printer: Minimax Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.1mm Infill: 20% Concentric Notes: Print time: 2 hours 40 minutes 33 seconds Filament: White Inland PLA Scale: x 60, y 63.52, z 21.72 Extruder Temp: 202 C Bed Temp: 60 C Speed: Infill: 50mm/s Inside perimeter: 40mm/s Outside perimeter: 40mm/s Travel: 125mm/s Retraction: 50mm/s After printing, I cleaned up the model by: Removing the raft and carefully bending it around the feet to break it off. Using a needle nose pliers to remove supports. Using a knife to remove blobs, zits, and other unsightly blemishes. How I designed this creation: I modeled the Kek Frog in Blender using a combination of circles, cylinders, and boolean operations. Here's how I did it: First, I created the toe shape by modeling two circles that would eventually become toes. Next, I used a cylinder to create the foot shape and hollowed out the middle to create space for the toes. I then branched off the long part of the toe from some of the faces and duplicated and rotated the new toes to create the back leg. I duplicated the entire leg structure to use for the front legs. For the body, I started with a cube and designed the Kek logo by booleaning it into the cube. I then cleaned up the mesh and booleaned in the completed legs. Finally, I added a subdivision modifier and new edge loops to form the geometry correctly. I tested the model with generic supports from my Minimax printer but encountered some issues with printing the front legs well. To fix this, I thickened them and imported the model into Meshmixer to generate custom supports for it.
