Rugged little Chain Chomp

<p>Thank you to the original author TotallyAddicted for this totally cute guy!</p><p>To make certain parts of him more durable at this smaller size:</p><p>1) I redesigned the back dome piece to include a little cavity for you to loop some filament through and kink with the help of a heat source (e.g. a cig lighter or hair dryer). See picture. It has been united with the chain connector that was previously a separate piece. A filament change will allow you to achieve the appropriate look.</p><p>2)The teeth now come with an option to print flat on the build plate.</p><p>3)The two parts of the body connect with 4 pins. Push them into the larger section first (the holes are undersized), preferably with a pair of pliers, and later press the back on (which has greater clearance). See picture.</p><p>4)The post for the specular highlight in his eyes would be too small at this scale, so there is a hole to accept 1.75mm filament. Insert it and clip it flat with flush cutters (see picture).</p><p>I have not included any model for a chain. You can go with the original chain chomp's stl, as that one has roughly the links with the same diameter (as 1.75 filament).</p><p>I would like to make a jig to create a whole chain from filament, and if I do I will update this description with a link (it will be a separate model).</p><p>Shoutout to MyTechFun for the inspiration to try uniting sphere sections with pins (which are his stls, also available freely to download on his website)!</p>
