Steampunk Octo Tap Handle

thingiverse

I created a steampunk beer tap handle by combining two prints found on Thingiverse, thanks to celticht32 for the squid design and doguri for the beer tap handle itself. I printed the pieces on an Ender 3 at 0.2mm layer height, using supports attached directly to the build plate and a raft for added stability. To ensure smooth threads, I blocked off the bottom third of each print from support material. Fusing the two parts together required some TLC, but TinkerCAD made it easy to bring my vision to life.
