Hey all!Got a bit of a more unique critter for you this month, a Manatee! These gentle giants frequent coastal waterways, and are also known as by the nickname, sea cow. I've had this fella on my list for a long time, so it was fun to finally get to make one!Print the Body and Head, then snap-fit them together . Here's a quick Demo Video to show how it works.   I hope you like it!Matt

Body: Print-in-Place. No supports needed. There is a small pre-support under the head ball joint. Remove and discard it after printing

Head: 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)

This should generally scale down to about 60% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer.  Your mileage may vary.
