Percy the Pencil Penguin Now Available!
🕑 Added 2022-12-12 21:42:40 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I'm very excited to share with you Percy the Pencil Penguin (name pending, feel free to give me your suggestions)! I've been wanting to push myself more and more into the character/articulated print side of things, and this was a fun model to take a step in that direction with!
This design prints in place with no supporters needed and has built in legs that allow him to either sit or stand. The arms are also designed to hold your favorite pen or pencil (or anything else of similar size and shape)! I've already employed mine as my dedicated Apple Pencil holder.
I have included 3 different files for this model in the Archives:
1) Single Color File
2) Multi Color File
3) Pre-Painted BambuSlicer File
I did a good bit of testing on the multicolor side of things to get it just right, and have filmed a short video showing how to best slice it for multicolor. I would highly recommend giving it a watch if you want to print the model in multi-color:

I have also designed a Santa hat for him, I'm just trying to get the fit just right so it doesn't fall off! I'll have it uploaded as soon as I have a successful test print. I have plans to do a few other hats as well, so I'm welcome to any and all suggestions!
As always, thank you all very much for the support and I hope you enjoy the model!

Are you giving him a slight lean back when you stand him up? He's designed to be tiltled back about 20-30 degrees, then placed down. You can kind of manually pull the feet backward to make sure they're in position

Is there a way to have the file to where the legs are not collapsible into the body? We keep having issues with him collapsing and my wife really like to see the feet but at this point she doesnt even pull them out since he keeps falling :(. Love the print but having that option would be nice.
