Stackable Animals

thingiverse

This is the first version of the stackable animal prints! A basic stacking/desk toy with a few animal designs that can be stacked on top of each other, suitable for SLA, FDM, or most other additive manufacturing methods. These toys are part of a challenge I've been considering in my 3D modeling career: I want to be able to create thing that children at different stages of life can play with. These bricks were designed for younger children who would still be old enough to stack simple shapes but are seeking autonomy in choosing which animals go in what order. ------- These prints are designed to be made with little to no support, although some features may need to be supported like tails. The STL file is about 2"H x 2"W x 3"L by default, but I've had success making a mini version (half size about about 1.5" Long) and a micro version (1/3rd size about 1" long). I've only printed them on an SLA printer, but a future goal is to have an FDM printer up and running to make them out of materials like Yellow ABS as well
