Here is the customized model you requested on Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1159436, created with their customizer app. Instructions: To produce this model using a printer with a .4 nozzle diameter, we recommend the following settings: Print Thickness: Set to 1 mm Fuzz Factor: Choose a fuzz factor of 11 Steps Per Segment: Select 9 steps per segment Body Shape: Select body shapes characterized by an average fat value of 3 and an average branchiness value of 5. Plate Size: A plate with a diameter of 233 mm will be created. You may select whether to show or hide the circular plate outline. A ringed shape, with three distinct ring structures visible when viewed in two dimensions, can also be incorporated into the design. Target Shape: Choose long slender body parts with an average length value of 11 Design Scaling Factor: This will maintain a 1 to 1 ratio scaling between design model and target size. Orientation and Positioning: Apply an optional rotateAngle degree for custom positioning within 3D printer workspace; Show a circle representing the final shape of printed object before completion if required. Organic Structure Factor: In order to produce more organic structures set this value lower, here we set it at 0. Target Circle Diameter: With a diameter of 100 mm the entire shape is now determined. Finally we add a ring structure in relation with body size and orientation on its wider or slimmer points ( wide ).
