***THIS FILE IS NO LONGER INCLUDED FREE WITH SUBSCRIPTION.Use the 50% OFF discount code if you want to purchase it.Hi Everyone!  Introducing my new River Otter design!

It's super-flexible and fully print-in-place, and features a pop-in mechanism in the neck segment that allows it to hold it's head up when in a standing pose (similar to the platypus head joint). Here's a quick demo video of how it works!

I hope you like it!Matt

Pictured Prints use the following filaments***Brown Multicolor: Overture Chocolate, Overture Brown, iSANMATE HS Coffee, Polymaker Cotton WhiteRainbow Multicolor: Ziro Rainbow Blaze, Ziro Morandi, iSANMATE Red/Blue, Polymaker Cotton WhiteSingle color 1: Ziro BeachSingle color 2: Cookiecad Mermaid*To Download: Click Here to go to the Pinned "the Hub - Info and Current Download Links" post3D PRINTING SETTINGS:

River Otter: 100% Print-in-Place. No supports needed. There is a small custom brim around the head to help with adhesion. Remove and discard it after printing

Multicolor 3MF (Compatible with PrusaSlicer and Bambu Studio)

10%-15% Infill (I recommend Gyroid, Crosshatch or 3D Honeycomb)

3 Walls. (Assuming 0.4mm nozzle. Adjust wall count to account for alternatenozzle sizes)

Features a pop-in mechanism in the neck segment that allows it to hold it's head up when in a standing pose. Here's a quick demo video of how it works!This should generally scale down to about 60% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer.  Your mileage may vary.

Omg I absolutely love! Gonna print this bab as soon as I can!

Zach Alexander

This is awesome! I love otters and this is such an adorable face. (I cannot wait for the hopefully-coming-soon keychain version too. 😉) That rainbow makes it really pop, I’m probably going to have to try that stuff.

Crissy

Super cute!! Even tho he looks a lot like the ferret.

Diana

So freaking adorable. Going to start the print after dinner

Margaret williams

My favorite animal!!! Can’t wait to get this started!!

From what I saw. Print in one piece. Don't need rubber band to hold. Different head.

Ohh. I searched otter and 2 posts came up. One from 2022 with a river otter release and the one just posted a little bit ago. Sorry for the confusion lol

matmire_makes

If you just searched your patreon home page it probably showed you an otter from a different designer that you follow, I'm guessing.

matmire_makes

OHHH. You mean the Hub post. That's the central info and download links post. It is always pinned and is continually updated (that's why the date is 2022). This post only announces the files, and the HUB post is where you go to download them.

Dorinda C

So cute. Now need some sort of log house for it. lol

Jj

Love it! Thanx again. You bring my life so mutch joy by creating these. Painting them became my daily escape from stress life.

Errmagawd. For a while now I've been hoping you would come up with an otter. Gorgeous!

Szymon Kowalski

I did mistake with ferret (blame on 3 am when i replied earlier :D)

Jessica Hill

Can anyone help me with the prints from moving on the bed? Are there settings you use? I have a Bambu printer now. The bearded dragon has a rim. I cannot get the print not to move and ruin the print for the axolotl tail. I want to print the otter but I am afraid of the same thing.

Freddie

what app do you use to make it?

matmire_makes

Primarily Blender, but I do like to use Nomad Sculpt on the iPad for some of my digital sculpting tasks.

I learned that I need to clean my bed after each print with rubbing alcohol. Also if you don't have the textured PEI plate yet, I highly recommend it.

Jessica Hill

I have the textured PEI and clean with dawn. I will clean with alcohol and try again tomorrow.

Freddie

ok thanks

Shredder3D

Use Dawn and Alcohol, are you putting a brim on the Axolotl?

Ilya Babuzhev

This is awesome!!! Waiting for the mini version!

Freddie

if i but your models of of cults3d would you be allowed to sell it

Lioness2000

Awhhh! I love this so much! Thank you! By far my favorite..

matmire_makes

No. I don’t sell my individual files with commercial licensing. To sell PRINTS of my designs, you have to be subscribed to my commercial “merchant” tier, here on Patreon. *Selling the digital files is never allowed.

Freddie

ok good to know

Nicholas

Can you do a tutorial on how to use Nomad? That would be a neat bonus to us members. I can’t even make a blob with it, and you’re designing stuff like this 🙂‍↕️

Troy Tompkins

this is one of my favorites, you should do a fox as well

Brian Mettlen

I've printed a couple at 60% and can't seem to get the neck locking thing to work. I'll try full size and see if that makes a difference. (I didn't realize the platypus had this feature as well)

Phyllisia

This is such a stunning model but I keep a huge layer shift close to the end of the print, I am printing on my K1 using Creality Print 5, has any else had this?

COSMICMINIUNIVERSE

are there any of those brown colors similar to any of amolen filaments?

LuckySpoon

I hope you've resolved your issue by now but just in case you haven't: Use the files that have supports built in and use purple gluestick. You'll never have adhesion issues again. I rarely ever clean my bed anymore and just reapply when it starts to look a little thinned of if something does shift. I sometimes have to clean the bottom of my prints to get the residue off but they usually come off pretty clean. Even if cleanup is necessary, it's just a matter of running warm water over it. Baby wipes are also an option and work extremely quickly, effectively, and much less drying time as opposed to waiting for water to evaporate off.

Jessica Hill

I ended up adding a brim. I use the purple glue stick already. I really wanted to bring the color options on my new Bambu that’s where I was having problems. I’ve never on the Prusa . I agree I rarely clean my Prusa board. The Bambu I’ve had a week and I am working the bugs. My solution ended up being textured board, glue and a brim.

Jessica Hill

Already use dawn. Wonderful solution when hot water alone isn’t removing the purple glue stick.

Anthony Ashcraft

This printed beautifully. Took a long, long time, but great result.

aaron lingenfelter

I would love it if at some point you could make a pitbull :) I want to make a cute one for my wife. Thanks in advance if you ever do.

Abel Vallejo

hi i just joined this patreon for chermercial licens . i want to do the otter but i not sure how to go about doing it .

Jason Collins

We so need a keychain version of this otter.

Scorpious Mfg.

You'll need to download from Cults3d.com and use the 50% off code to get it. This is how I did it when I joined.

Muffina

am i crazy or is there not a otter magnet???

Muffina

and if there is none, we need one for sure!

Ashley Simms

I am very new to 3D printing I have a Bambu mini how I go about sending the prints I purchased off of here to my printer?

Dustin Valdock

I can't seem to print the otter :( I've tried different plates, orientations, but no matter what I seem to do, I can't get past the first layer. Either half the legs on onside doesn't print until the second layer (if I can get that far), otherwise the filament starts collecting at the nozzlehead. I am new to 3D printing (started in October). I'm printing on a P1S, which has printed the badger, pig, and cow just fine. I had floating parts issues with the platypus but I've had 2/2 print just fine.

matmire_makes

I took a look at the model and there were some very slight height differences in some of the pieces, but they should be well within the ranges to print all parts in layer 1. Regardless, I did upload a new v02 with all the parts flushed to the bed. You can give that a try. I'm actually wondering if maybe the model got rotated off x-axis a little bit when you rearranged them on the bed. That could explain the issues that you are describing. If you look at layer one in your slice, do you see a base layer for all of the parts? If you do see them in the slicer, but it's not actually printing those areas in layer one, that would suggest an extrusion issue or possibly an issue with the bed leveling preventing adhesion on that side.
