--------------------------

If you already have the files, here is all the INFO:

This little creature is a literal sea-horse, with 4 articulated legs! It's the first release from our new collection "Mytho-critters", we will release 1-2 new unique creatures every month, inspired and loosely based on mythological animals and creatures from folk tales:)

Versions provided: static and articulated version in stl, and 3mf formats with print settings (for Bambu and Orca slicer), 12mm craft eye versions, multicolor with 3 colors, and a 3mf batch version of 17 articulated Seahorse.----------------------------

Print difficulty level: BeginnerPrint size: Small, (60-70mm)Printing time: 1h20mRecommended print settings: (If you use Bambu or Orca slicer, all the print settings are automatically loaded in each version’s 3mf files)

-Layer height: 0.16mm

-Wall loops: 3

-Infill: 10%, Gyroid

-Supports: No supports needed for the articulated version.For the static version: auto tree supports, TopZ distance 0.25mm, BottomZ distance 0.16mm, the slicer will add some supports under the belly part, like on the picture below:

-------------------------------For the multicolor articulated version we have set up a 3mf file where you can print the seahorses in a bigger batch in a most cost-efficient way. For example:

If you print one in multicolor it will be done in about 12 hours, 187g filament, around $3.75 in costs.

If you print 17 in multicolor it will be done in about 1 day 10h, 553g filament, around $11 in costs.

So basically with the batch version it will take 3 times longer and cost 3 times more, but you'll end up with 17 times as many seahorses than if you only print one:)
