Exclusive: Flexi Factory Beaver
Added 2025-02-06 20:00:55 +0000 UTCWow, this character was quite the challenge...in a good way π My maker space is littered with beaver body parts after changing directions twice before landing on this happy-go-lucky Chap.
The little arms and head are pop-on which allows for various poses :) And I while I have never seen beavers in the wild stand on each other's heads, we had a ton of fun stacking them high.
Happy Printing -Dan

Print tips and Info:
Model DOWNLOADS are HERE!!! https://www.patreon.com/collection/15731
I test printed between 50% and 150% for this model. 50% is a great size for keychains if you want to add a loop.
STL and 3MF files are included. * If you use the 3mf file, please remember that it is a painted project file for your convenience. You must check your material/printer/settings to make sure it works correctly for your printing project.
I added a 2, 3 and 4 color option
Consider scaling down a bit and add more to the plate. They are so cute at 50%!
I print with 15% infill/gyroid, .12 or .16 layer height for quality.
Make sure you have good adhesion. I always use a glue stick or next generation adhesion plate.
Gradient PLA works well with this model: I have a comprehensive list of Filament I use here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/flexifactory *As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases

2025-03-30 21:45:13 +0000 UTCYou can do that in the slicer. There's some shape options in there where you can add a loop or a hole if you prefer. I suggest a couple online tutorials depending on the slicer you're using :-)
