Hi Friends! You can thank my soon to be sister in-law for today's release: The Axolotl! We had a request from a subscriber for more animal clickers and conversations on what animals would be fun to throw into our mix began! Somewhere in that conversation, an axolotl was requested and an axolotl was born.. it's hard to say no to family! The axolotl gills were a little finicky to get just the look I wanted, but I do love how they turned out.. and in case you're wondering, so do the in-laws! Hope you love it too! ≽ (^ ᗜ ^)≼

Like most of my designs, this is a clicky design that requires a mechanical keyboard switch to make the clicky part. These models have been tested with Kailh Bronze, White, Jade and White V2 clickers and the White clickers are my preferred option. I have an up to date list of verified clickers with links you can find HERE. This design should be compatible with most MX style keyboard switches, however, the two metal contacts on the bottom of the switch must be clipped off flush (or folded over) to ensure the switch seats properly in the base (this is a destructive process). A 7mm keyring file is included as well as a larger, 3.5mm diameter keyring hole to allow a beaded chain to be used!

This pack contains 4 adorable axolotl faces! An open eyes with smile, closed eyes with smile, open eyes with large grin, closed eyes with grin. A single base is provided with the standard keychain configurations. 

(all caps are saved as .3mf only)

3D Printing Settings:

Layer Height: 0.2mm (recommended)

External Perimeter: 0.33mm

Scale: 100% (Everything is modeled with tight tolerances and should not need to be resized)

NOTE: I've found the best way to get the most crisp details on the faces is to start with the smallest details first and work up from there. Here is the order I recommend after LOTS of trial and error:

Black (Eyes/mouth)

Color 1 (gills)

Color 2 (face colors)

I've also found hitting the print with a heat gun right before the main body color starts printing will eliminate any little strings that can cause blemishes on the final design.

⚠️WARNING⚠️ - This pack requires very good bed adhesion to ensure the best possible results for your finished clicker. It is recommended to clean your bed with soap and water before printing or whatever your specific printer manufacturer recommends for a deep bed clean!
