Porcupick

Introducing the 'Pickupine'... or is it a Prorcupick?\n\nThis fun little model is sure to be a great 3D conversation starter once you've added approximately 150 toothpicks to make him a very prickly critter. In addition to being a unique model, they also have a practical purpose if you're happy to use them as a toothpick holder... so your Pickupine can happily live in your pantry! \n\nPickupines will take some time to print due to the many outlines required to make all of the holes in its back (for the toothpicks). Once printed, just check that all the holes appear clear and free of any filament debris etc. so they toothpicks can be inserted easily approximately 10mm down. Inserting the toothpicks will take a while (because there are approximately 150 of them) and take care when doing it as Pickupines get to be very prickly to say the least. \n\nThe design uses a toothpick hole size of 2.25mm at the entry point into the model, which then tapers down to 0.8mm over a distance of approximately 10mm. Most toothpicks are around 2.0mm in diameter. Please note that if your toothpicks are tight, don't go in far enough, you can uniformly scale the design up or scale down a small amount if your toothpicks are loose (they need to have a snug fit to stay in well and on the intended angles). The holes produced can be affected by your slicing app's precision, machine accuracy, filament diameter / volume variations etc. \n\nThis is an easy print if precisely sliced and printed on an accurate well set up machine. However, accuracy and detail are important to ensure all the toothpick holes are well formed. \n\nPlease refer to the print settings provided as well as the images for additional information.... and post images of your prints in use for other members to see. \n\nNote: If you like this check out the rest of my fun and practical designs!
