More Realistic Ball-Joint Articulated Octopus

thingiverse

Hello everyone! I just printed an amazing model, and I'm excited to share my settings with you. My print settings were: Layer height 1.0, Speed 50 mm/s, Supports Yes with a thickness of 1mm so I could achieve plenty of details (I also used two dense support layers), No brim, Just skirt. For the infill, I used MultiProcesses most of it, and for the most part, it's 5% but there are some parts that have 35% or even 50% at the top. Important note: If you're printing from my factory file, don't worry about resizing anything - it's all taken care of. However, if you're not using the factory file, please follow these recommendations: I had to resize it to 130%, and I want to warn you that if you scale the realistic tentacles at the same percentage, they'll be so loose that they might fall off. For the legs, I used a size of 140%. If you want to do the same, I've included my settings below. You can find the tentacle model here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1998738/#files To add extra strength to the base of the head where the tentacles attach, I used three wall layers instead of the usual two. If you decide to resize your print, be sure to adjust some process settings so it works out correctly. Unfortunately, I had to post this as a remix in order to share my factory code from Simplify. Don't worry about adding tolerances to any values - it's not necessary.
