Description

He doesn't associate with lesser cephalopods.

Instructions

Print all the parts (body, hat, monocle) and superglue them together.

If you want to play with the OpenSCAD file, it depends on a properly scaled octopus.stl, which is included here for your convenience.

We have made five fancy octopuses, they like to have tea parties in our office and look down on the animals that are not fancy.

I've printed a dozen of these so far! This has been my favorite model for comparing different layer heights and finishing techniques side by side. Everybody wants one, and like another commenter said, even if you get peeling, the raised arms hardly spoil the print. :-D

Today is the second day playing with my new replicator. Mr. Octopus (scaled 50%) printed with some barnacles, what do I need to do differently?

In your printomatic settings, you may need to adjust the filament diameter. I think the default setting is 1.82 mm, so you might try there and see if it helps.

Once you've got that done, print the version with the top hat! :)

Indubitably!

His Highness printed perfectly on my Replicator.

We also discovered he floats quite nicely in the bath tub =-O

Awesome, I have three now, 1x, 0.5x and 0.25x. The smallest is really pushing the limits of my prusa, I want a 0.125x one now :P

Awesome! I was curious how small he could go... Was the monocle the limiting factor?

Haha, Excellent job!!

Ha! A monocle. Doesn't get fancier than that.

I say, where's his cane. Won't leave the grotto without one, you know.
