The Oblivious Dad: Ted Wheeler (Golf Edition)
"Language! We are patriots in this house!"
While Demogorgons attack and the world ends, Ted Wheeler is just trying to improve his short game. This mini figure captures the apathy of Hawkins' most clueless father in the classic Funko-style aesthetic.
Ted is dressed for a relaxing Sunday, completely ignoring his children's whereabouts. He wears a beige windbreaker over a blue cable-knit sweater and a collared shirt. Of course, he comes equipped with his gold wire-rimmed glasses and is holding a golf club—because nothing stops tee time.
🍗 Model Highlights:
- Classic Ted: Features his signature parted hair and round glasses.
- Dad Fashion: Perfectly captures the "suburban dad" layered look with a detailed textured sweater and jacket.
- Golf Accessory: Sculpted holding a golf club in his right hand, resting it on the ground.
- Stable Pose: Stands firmly, likely blocking the TV or the fridge.
🖨️ Printing Recommendations
To ensure his glasses and golf club don't snap (unlike his patience):
- Nozzle: A 0.2mm nozzle is highly recommended here. The frames of his glasses and the shaft of the golf club are thin; a smaller nozzle will print them much cleaner.
- Layer Height: 0.12mm or lower.
- Infill: 15% Gyroid.
- Supports: Tree Supports (Auto) are ESSENTIAL.
- Critical Areas: The shaft of the golf club is a long, thin overhang/bridge depending on orientation. Support the club head and his hands. The chin and glasses also need support.
- Material: White or Grey PLA (Matte preferred).
🎨 Painting Guide: Suburban Beige

If you print Ted, please upload a MakerWorld Profile picture! I’d love to see him sleeping in a recliner on your desk.
