SnoLabs Penguin

thingiverse

Introducing the SnoLabs Penguin! This little guy got lost from his flock and ended up waddling around in Antarctica. After spending long days alone in snowstorms, he was luckily found unconscious by some Makers who were able to revive him. Fortunately, these Makers had a 3D printer that helped them create an exoskeleton with a jetpack for the Penguin! However, during the procedure, the Penguin woke up with a bad case of amnesia. This model comes with free support and has 8 points of articulation in its flaps, feet, tail, knees, and rotating head. Its printed/sitting height is 100 mm, and we will be posting larger 130 mm and smaller 80 mm models as well! We do not recommend scaling the model, so we have different sizes available that are optimized for 80 mm, 100 mm, and 130 mm sitting heights. Update: 07/14/2019 The 100 mm version has been successfully scaled up to 300% multiple times without any issues. We want 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 precision prints that 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 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 model, there is an issue with the tail not articulating. This issue has been fixed in V4. Update: 8/27/18 - We addressed the degenerative triangles in v4 with v6 to have a better model, but it didn't affect print quality.
