The file 'Tardigrade / Water Bear / Moss Pig 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 8.8MB.
Hello! I made this tardigrade that I have been printing as tiny models only 1.5 cm at the longest length using FDM! The model is for a 6.5 cm high print, though! I didn't check how it scales.
I designed it in TinkerCad, and cleaned it up in meshmixer.
You can print lots of them as long as you create a brim so that they are all connected, otherwise one of them might pull of the build plate.
I also print them so that they are angled with the mouth spikes pointed up to the sky, that way it gives a nice circular detail on the face :) This can print OK without supports if you print a larger size, but if you print a tiny model, i really recommend a support on the booty!
Also, i printed in both PETG and PLA :)
