Summary

Froctopus: the frog octopus.

Printed this little guy at 12% infill with no issues, though I think 15% would make him pretty sturdy. Especially if you plan on using him more often/like to fidget with your prints, 15% is better for his leg strength. If he's just a fun desk piece, 12% is fine.

Supports are a must for his little chin. Raft not necessary, but I like to print with a brim.

He's currently a work in progress due to his back. The original frog design looks pretty cool to me, but his back has a few spots that look unfinished (see second to last photo). If you like the pattern the printer makes, then he's set. But I'm a bit of a tinkerer, so I'm going to try to smooth it/correct it in a later update.

When uploaded into Ultimaker Cura, he gives a warning; however, after slicing, no errors persist. He's printed at 74.36% of his original size.

A big thank you to the two original designers whose models I used to put froctopus together. As I said, I'm a tinkerer--not a gifted 3D modeler. As such, the licensing listed on this print is equal to the highest licensing of the two original models.
