OCTOPUS 2.0

Description

3 years later, the Octopus has grown!

Print in place with no support and no assembly required.

Available both with smooth and textured skin.

Includes also replaceable tentacles, no need to throw away failed prints! Check the tutorial video.

Check here the timelapse and post-printing video.

DISCLAIMER: This print requires very good bed adhesion for the suckers to stay in place. I recommend disabling any “elephant foot” compensation on the slicer. For more tips, take a look at my printing tips.

UPDATE!!: New version with separate eyes added. I've included also single tentacles to use as keychain.

PrintSettings

A good first layer is mandatory for the print to succeed. Be sure your printer is calibrated and you have good bed adhesion.

I recommend a slow and thick first layer (8 mm/s and 0.3 mm).

Good layer cooling is also recommended, as it prevents curling and warping on overhangs.
