Articulated Zombie Octopus

Please read first! (As a thank you for 20.000 Followers on MakerWorld!) This model is extremely time-consuming to print and wastes a lot of filament, especially if you don’t have a multicolor 3D printer!   There are 6 different heads to choose from and 5 different tentacle versions, so it may take a little while for all the files to load when you open them in your slicer.   This model wasn’t simply modified from my original Octopus it was completely redesigned from scratch! Because of the new design, the tentacles can now simply be attached to the body, so no glue is needed anymore. 😁   *If you have any problems with bed adhesion, please use a brim right away to make sure the Octopus doesn’t come loose from the build plate during printing!   The model is not meant to be 100% anatomically accurate to a real octopus. Instead, it represents how I personally imagined a Zombie Octopus. Of course, real octopuses don’t have skeletons or bones sticking out of their tentacles 😅, but for me, those details make the model much more interesting and give it that unique zombie look! 🧟🐙   I had a lot of fun working on this project, but it also took a huge amount of time to create and test everything. I really hope you enjoy the Octopus and that you have fun printing it! 😊🐙   ℹ Tips for printing: Filament: PLA Supports: Yes! manual tree supports only for the tentacles! Layer height: 0.2mm or 0.16(0.15)mm Wall loops: 3 Infill: 15% Seam position: back Wall generator: Classic Detect thin walls: No! *Brim: you decide! BuildPlate: Smooth (Textured Build Plates not recommended!) Use a build plate that you know has good adhesion! Info‼: Do not scale the Octopus any smaller otherwise the connections will no longer work! Info‼: If you apply too much force to the connections they may break because the connections are small! Info‼: Please be careful when removing the Octopus from the print bed! ------------------------------------------------------ ❌‼Disclaimer‼❌ These files are provided for personal, non-commercial use only! This model is not suitable for young children or pets! Please store this model safely in environments with young children and pets, as small parts may pose a choking hazard or cause injuries. Avoid applying strong force, as it may damage the model and create hazardous fragments. After 3D printing, keep the model in a secure location out of reach of children and pets. Follow these precautions for safe use. ------------------------------------------------------   Colors and filament I used (4 Colors): PLA Matte / DarkGreen PLA Matte / Purple (Plum) PLA Matte / Black PLA Matte / BoneWhite Colors and filament I used (5 Colors): PLA Matte / DarkGreen PLA Matte / Purple (Plum) PLA Matte / Black PLA Matte / BoneWhite PLA Matte / LightGreen Or decide for yourself which colors and how many you want to use!   ℹ This model is very filament wasteful please keep that in mind! When you decide to print my multicolor Pre-Sliced (3mf file) I would recommend printing several models at once, not just one, to reduce waste!    ------------------------------------------------------ ℹ New multicolor version (3mf)! This model is no longer pre-painted in the slicer – you can now freely choose which color goes where directly in your slicer for a better look and easier handling! (Quick tip: identical colors next to each other won’t work – always place different colors side by side to avoid potential issues.)
