Model Overview & Print Notes
Summary
Cute mini Octopus, articulated and printed without additional supports.
It's designed so it can be printed at once. No assembly or supports required.
Many different STL files, with straight or spiral tentacles, both with and without included support.
UPDATE!! v6 fixes some mesh errors, improves bed adhesion, and adds the replaceable tentacle and the HUGE octopus print.
To print the small replaceable tentacle, be sure to enable "print thin walls" in the slicer. No need for additional supports. Settings are the same as the Octopus 2.0 tentacle replacement video
To print the HUGE tentacle, manual supports are needed in the opened link.
