Description
The cutest Otter!!
Print in place with no support and no assembly required. Just slice and print!
Feel free to scale them up or down as much as you want (the limit is your printer).
It is designed with embedded magnets to grab a rock and other Otters. Check out this short video to see it in action: https://youtu.be/5D1Jq9cZ3Og
The Otter and the magnet rock are designed to fit 8x3 mm cylindrical magnets, and there's a second version of the rock that fits a 10 mm steel ball. Both work great, but the magnet rock has a stronger grip.
Pre-painted 3MF file also included!!
CONSIDERATIONS:
- Obviously, those magnets won't fit if the model is scaled. I've provided a version of the Otter without the magnet holes as well.
- You will need to add a pause to the print to insert the magnets. It should be done just when the preview shows the first layer closing the hole, so the printer pauses just before that layer starts (about 10.2 mm in height).
- I recommend placing opposite magnet polarities on each hand and each side of the rock. This way the hands can close together. Additionally, if you use the same configuration on all the Otters they will be able to hold hands 😁

I happen to have 6x3mm magnets on hand, did a test print and didn't like how much they rattle inside the hands. So I opted to print these without magnets. I wanted to print 3 of them to offset the color change waste, which is thankfully quite low as there is only 162 changes. I skipped one of them halfway through after the head had detached from the plate, and another completed despite the head detaching. One came out flawless :) I think the head needs more bed contact, especially at the back where there are two little spots of another color. Or maybe mouse ear brims could help Printed in bambu lab bronze PLA basic, matte black, and 3DE beige PLA
