Taller Octopus Remix

thingiverse

I made Sgrabler's Barrel of Octopuses for my friend's birthday, and that was also my first time quad printing. At first glance, the legs seemed too thin and prone to breakage, while the spirals came out twisted quite a bit, so I chopped off the ends of the spirals and extended the legs a bit to merge them back into the body more smoothly. Unfortunately, I couldn't resolve the issue with dropping the octopuses from the print bed but making the legs thicker solved that problem for me, and they printed surprisingly well still. I encountered some stringing issues as well as needing to file down the inside of the spirals a bit. Hopefully, it will turn out okay! Mesh-Mixer was an entirely new experience for me. Thanks so much to Sgrabler for designing this octopus idea and Mole of Production for putting it all together - I had no idea how well-liked these tiny guys were until I shared my version with everyone! As a side note, my four octopuses turned up the wrong file for a bit, and I apologize for the mishap! It's fixed now.
