The file 'Octopus Wine Stopper 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 4.0MB.
Had so much fun playing with Dr Lex's octopus that I had the idea of seeing it as a stopper on a wine bottle.
Couldn't just add the stopper without allowing for a super high set of rafts for each leg.
So I made a separate stopper with wide threads, and cut an slightly oversized receiving thread into the octopus' body. (the original 'close fit' created in Blender was a little too tight)
Also added a little 'debris cutter' at the tip of the stopper to remove any printing debris from the inner threads of the octopus.
Came out great! Threads easily and holds well. I'll post a make on the male thread and female thread mold to adapt this for other toppers beside Dr Lex's great octopus !! :)
