SnoLabs Penguin

myminifactory

Introducing the SnoLabs Penguin! This little guy was lost from his flock and left waddling around in the Antarctic after long days of getting battered by snowstorms. Luckily, he was found unconscious by some Makers who were able to revive him. Fortunately, these Makers had a 3D printer that allowed them to make him an exoskeleton with a jetpack! However, during the procedure, he woke up with a case of amnesia. This model is free from support, thanks to its 8 points of articulation in its flaps, feet, tail, knees and rotating head. His printed/sitting height is 100 mm. We do not recommend scaling the model, as such, we have different sizes available that are optimized for 80 mm, and 100 mm sitting heights. Update: 07/14/2019 The 100 mm version has been successfully scaled up to 300% multiple times without any issues. We would like to give a major shout out to Louise Driggers a.k.a Loubie for designing this model in Blender for SnoLabs. Printing Tips! The penguins are a precision print and will require your printers and filament dialed in correctly with optimized retraction. The model is designed to print in place without any supports. If you have any adhesion issues, we recommend using PEI sheets and Magigoo! Don't forget to tag @SnoLabs3D and Loubie in your posts! These penguins were printed with SnoLabs filaments and tested with our PLA, PLA+, PC+, and PETG available on our site, https://SnoLabs.com 2018 SnoLabs Note: If you downloaded the 100 mm V3, there is an issue with the tail not articulating. This issue has been fixed with V4. Update: 8/27/18 - It didn't affect print quality, but to have a better model we have addressed the degenerative triangles in v4 with v6.
