SnoLabs Penguin

Introducing the SnoLabs Penguin! Lost from his flock, this little guy was left waddling around in Antarctica. After long days lost in snowstorms, he was luckily found unconscious by some Makers who were able to revive him. Fortunately, these Makers had a 3D printer that made it possible for them to create an exoskeleton with a jetpack! However, during the procedure, he woke up with a case of amnesia. This model is support-free with 8 points of articulation in its flaps, feet, tail, knees, and rotating head! His printed/sitting height is 100 mm, and we will be posting a larger 130 mm and smaller 80 mm model as well. We do not recommend scaling the model, as such, we have different sizes available that are optimized for 80 mm, 100 mm, and 130 mm sitting heights. A major shout out to Louise Driggers, also known as Loubie, who designed this model in Blender for SnoLabs. Printing Tips! The penguins are precision prints that will require your printers and filament to be 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. 2022 SnoLabs. All rights reserved. Note: If you downloaded the 100 mm V3 model, there is an issue with the tail not articulating. This issue has been fixed in version 4. Update: 8/27/18 - We addressed degenerative triangles in v4 with v6 to improve the model's quality. Update: 06/29/19 - Thanks to Keegan Bradford, we've included Grumpy Penguin remix!
