Ok, I couldn't help myself... I really wanted to Turbo my Tortoise 😊. This model has several fun features that make it great for customizing. The head pops-on and swivels for extra character :) The body, shell, and spoiler snap together, and the optional flames push in with a fairly snug fit.

I designed it this way so you can print all the parts in different colors. I personally like the shell shiny and the body matte or basic PLA.

I also redesigned the neck with a larger footprint, and kept the "box" feature to store stuff inside.

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.

15% infill/gyroid, .12 or .16 layer height for quality suggested

As usual. make sure you have good adhesion, especially for the mini versions. A glue stick works, however I have switched to using on all my machines... a BIQU Cryopgrip Frostbite adhesion plate (LOVE it).

I test printed between 50% and 125% for this design. Consider high quality materials and settings, the smaller you go.

Gradient PLA works well with this model: I have a comprehensive list of Filament I use here: Amazon List

Hello Dan I love your designs, would it be possible to get a new piggy bank soon? e.g. turtle or something new? lg

Dan

Like an animal made into a bank? That would be a great exclusive idea

Great print, working a large scale print of this little guy. Had a great Idea. Would love to see a version were the legs snap into place and a set of wheels that would fit into the feet. Going to print an engine to fit under the shell. LOL

Dan

I tried some wheel versions but you nailed it, the legs have to be static and I didn't love that direction. Took away too much of the Flexiness unfortunately.
