Tardigrade (Water Bear)

thingiverse

A 60X magnified 3D model of a tardigrade (Echiniscus species), an incredibly adaptable and widespread multicellular animal, is showcased here. These cryptobiotic creatures can survive in space for extended periods and measure about 0.5 to 1.0 mm long. The model was initially provided by a colleague, cleaned up with Rhino3D, printed on a Replicator with 1 shell at 10% infill, and features clear details on the claws but truncated feelers.
