Lobster

thingiverse

This is a stylized lobster model from 123Dapp.com.\nI broke it down into separate components and rearranged them for effortless three-dimensional printing.\nThe claws, legs, and antennae must be attached to the body using glue.\nTo connect the head and tail, I included pins, but they failed to work at the scale used, so I opted for a simple adhesive solution.\nThe eyes are painted with black glossy enamel.\nThe Meshmixer file is included for reference purposes.\nOn August 17, 2017, an update was made: I added the uncut full model as requested by a Thingiverse user. The updated file is called "Lobster-onepiece.stl".\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand:\n Ultimaker\n \n Printer:\n Ultimaker Original\n \n Rafts:\n No\n \n Supports:\n Yes\n \n Resolution:\n 0.15 mm or better\n \n Infill:\n 10%\n \n Notes:\n The parts have been pre-oriented to minimize the amount of support needed.\nThe Design Process\nI began with the Autodesk Premium Lobster model from www.123Dapp.com and utilized Meshmixer to break down the components, create watertight solid bodies, and position them for printing.
