Subnautica Cuddlefish

prusaprinters

<p>Update:<br>I've made a new version of each body, which supports 7mm googly eyes.</p><p>I exported the model for the Cuddlefish from Subnautica, and modified it to use the modular ball-joint arms (from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1692567">3DCentralVA</a> and <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:584405">Ellindsey</a>).<br>Though the arms have been modified in size to give them a slight taper.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are three versions of the body:</p><p><br>-The normal one is closer to the raw game model, in the sense that the mouth is more open, showing a few tiny teeth.</p><p><br>-The other one ("ClosedMouth") is where I closed the mouth so that I wouldn't have to remove supports in that narrow area :)</p><p>-A version of each body, which supports 7mm googly eyes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To print the complete model:</p><p>1x Body<br>2x Top arm<br>2x Bottom arm<br>1x Middle arm</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I first tried printing the whole body in one go with rafts and supports, but that din't end well. The supports didn't work properly and the socket joints fell apart. And when I tried to plug in the tentacles/arms into the other sockets, they cracked instantly since there where horisontal layers.&nbsp;</p><p>So the final version I printed was when splitting the body in two (with the PrusaSlicer “Cut” function), and simply gluing the two halves together.<strong> And more importantly</strong>: I heated up the socket joints slightly with a heat gun before plugging the tentacles/arms into it. So that they wouldn't crack.</p>
