Realistic Flexible Octopus

cults3d

I wanted to try and make a realistic looking yet relatively easy printing flexible octopus, most importantly that would print without supports. The model does print without supports, however you need to have good bed adhesion (as the model has little suckers under the tentacles) alternately you can print with a brim, but this would require more clean up. The octopus is textured, therefore after printing, i painted the entire model a base color, once that was dry i then simply dry brushed the second color over the model to bring out the textures, and finally painted the eyes black. Printed on BIQU B1 Printer Sliced with Prusaslicer 10% infill 2 perimeters 0 supports Model is roughly 150 x 150 mm on bed. It can be made larger, but i do not recommend making it smaller, due to tolerances.
