Field Note #C21: Specimen treats every spilled drink as a home renovation.

Meet Vaporechonk. Amphibious and dramatic in equal parts.

Fanchonks are what happens when a Chonk gets way too into a particular unnamed fandom.

Chonkyvee has chonkyvolved! This was super fun to make, so let me know if you want to see more Fanchonks in future - and what you want them to be! ☺️

Maker's Log

The 3MF is set up for 'showcase' quality on my Bambu Lab P1S - including a 0.12mm layer height, speeds tuned for clean details, and colours already assigned. This gives you a high-quality print straight out of the box, but you can absolutely tweak things if you’d prefer a faster print instead.On my P1S at 100%, Vaporechonk clocks in at roughly:⏳ 15.5 hours at 0.12mm (showcase quality - what you see in the photos)⌛️ 8.5 hours at 0.2mm (speedier print, still very usable)Recommended settings below:

Layer height: ~0.12 mm (tested up to .2mm)

Supports: Not required

Infill: 10–15% is plenty (Cross-Hatch or Gyroid)

Orientation: Pre-oriented, drop in and go

Material: PLA is best, PETG/others also fine

If recolouring the 3MF, do so via the Objects tab (selecting parts individually) rather than using the Paint tool.

Lab Notes: Chonk Palette

Jaw, Eyes + Highlights, Fin Frills, Neck Frill: Bambu Lab PLA Basic Jade White

Pupils, Helmet + Fins, Back Ridge: Bambu Lab PLA Matte Marine Blue

Body: Bambu Lab PLA Matte Ice Blue
