More Realistic Ball-Joint Articulated Octopus

thingiverse

Absolutely adore your ball-joint design but felt the octo head was just a tad too uncomplicated. Plus, my unit's mascot is the Devilfish, so I remodeled it in ZBrush to better fit our logo. Update: Changed the iris direction, didn't like the vertical design so I made it horizontal to match the original as well as many of the depictions of octopi that we see. Also, made the bridge between eyes a bit narrower. Instructions For segments connecting to the body, it may be necessary to slightly sand or shave the sides of the ball joint on the segment to get a tight fit that does not crack the body. I've printed this at .2 and .15 without any issues. Find that .15 looks as appealing as .1 layer height to the casual observer and it saves a lot of time in the print.
