ALLIGATOR (STL, 3MF) (Patreon)

Hello Patreon friends,

I'm thrilled to share with you a new design inspired by an incredible story with my son. Just a few days ago, he was invited to a friend's party where they had some fascinating attractions, including snakes and lizards. When he returned home, he was bursting with excitement to tell me all about it. It turns out he even got to hold a baby crocodile! Of course, he immediately asked me to buy him one. My answer was a resounding no, but I promised him something special instead: a 3D-printed crocodile he could play with!

And so, this design was born. I printed it using PLA, with 3 perimeters and a 15% gyroid infill to ensure durability, along with a layer thickness of 0.16 for precise detailing. For an extra touch of fun, I made it both multicolored and in multiple parts using the amazing Bambu X1C and also keychain versions of the same design.

After conducting numerous test prints and experimenting with different sizes, my son dove into the game of stacking the printed crocodiles to see how tall of a tower he could build.

I hope you enjoy this design as much as Leo did. And don't worry, we'll soon be sharing another original design that's currently taking shape in the printer!

Thank you for your ongoing support and for being part of this exciting creative journey on Patreon!
