Nintendo Chain Chomp Rattle NO AMS

Based on Nintendo's Chain Chomp, this rattle is a great addition to any toy collection. Kids love it! The easy-to-grab cage on the back and the chain make it especially great for smaller children learning to grab and play. There's even a green shell on the inside that adds to the Nintendo theme and makes the toy even more enjoyable.

 

Printing instructions:

Profile includes several different plates. Most parts require glue for assembly.

Plate 1: Main face. Print as is, PLA or PETG recommended. Minimal supports required. Overture PETG Black.

Plate 2: Teeth and bottom half of turtle shell. Bambulabs PLA White.

Plate 3: Eyes. Color swap at layer 21 (manual pause programmed into .3mf file). Bambulabs PLA White, then Black.

Plate 4: Mouth. Again, minimal supports. Bambulabs PLA Red

Plate 5: Chain. Thanks @P1S BSMT for the chain design. See his page for the original. These work great! Bambulabs Gray PLA.

Plate 6: Top half of turtle shell. Thanks @monkeyzav for the shell model. He's got the original on his page if you want it. I used a negative part to hollow it out, so be careful with that if you move it around. Bambulabs PLA Bamboo Green.

Plate 7: Cage. Some supports required, I strongly recommend PETG for this piece!! It's stronger and a bit more flexible than PLA and will not break nearly as easily if dropped. I used Overture Transparent PETG.

 

Assembly is straightforward. I recommend gluing on small parts (eyes, teeth) first, then gluing big chunks together after they have dried. For even more rattling fun, I put several bells inside the green shell (the reason why I hollowed it out in the first place).

 

I recommend JB Weld Plastic Bonder. My rattle has survived rough play and drops from several meters. I suspect the plastic would break before the joints failed. I have not tested superglue, but I would guess that it would not perform as well. Works very well with PLA and PETG.
