Minecraft Creeper

thingiverse

Check out this Minecraft Creeper scale model, crafted from a few easy-to-print parts! It's a revamped version of the original found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8346. Key changes include deeper toes (adjustable in size), deeper face holes (also adjustable), parameterized leg-connecting holes for printable one-piece body and legs, flipped Z axis alignment, and a tidied scad file for improved readability with reused code for legs/toes. The Steve figure shown is from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:29570, but the original design has been removed due to a copyright dispute; contact for the original version if needed.

For printing instructions, you'll need one head, a body, and four legs. If your printer can handle short, unsupported spans, print the body+legs as one piece and the head separately for easy assembly with glue. Otherwise, print the body+legs in pairs (front and back) or download individual leg STL files for separate printing, then join with wire and glue. OpenSCAD users can download the scad file for customized prints.
