Description
Watch him move here: youtube.com/watch?v=6CFrwe9zlvc
This adorable little creature's moveable LED-illuminated eyes, functioning jaw, and sleek looking treads make him the most expressive mascot possible.
He can be happy, adventurous and fast, big or small. His tail is made up of a ball point pen insert or 3mm section of filament. His eyes light up with 3mm LEDs and a standard cr2032 coin battery with no soldering!
Print the eye inserts in glow in the dark and he'll have night vision, perfect for those late night hack-a-thons. He holds a stealthy slot in his back for propping up your notepaper and has acquired a taste for stray paperclips.
All around, he's fully printable with no overhangs over 50 degrees and uses the legendary TBUSER (Mad props to him: thingiverse.com/tbuser) compatible male/female connectors for open bot-modding goodness.
