The Moody Pebbles - Series 4

Welcome back to The Moody Pebbles! 🪨💙

🚨 The collection just got a massive twist! I am releasing a brand-new Series of Moody Pebbles every single week, but this week brings something completely new to the build plate. Make sure to hit that Follow button on my profile so you don't miss out on the next wave!

☄️ Unbox the Mystery: The Crackable Asteroid!

For the first time ever, Series 4 introduces an interactive unboxing experience right off the printer! Astro comes completely encapsulated inside a 3D-printed asteroid shell. To meet your new pocket pal and find out exactly what emotion he is feeling, you actually have to crack and break open the outer shell! It adds a thrilling element of surprise and destruction-play that kids and adults will absolutely love.

Meet the Series 4 Crew!

Every pebble has a distinct personality and a brand-new geological shape. Here is the official roster for this wave:

• Malachite Marv: The deeply focused, swirling stone who is trying very hard to concentrate and stay mindful today.
• Citrine Cynthia: The bright, jagged crystal who is feeling just a little too buzzy and anxious!
• Astro (The Mystery Pebble!): ????? — You won't know what rock shape Astro is or how he's feeling until you crack open his asteroid shell to rescue him!

🎨 A Blank Canvas for Creativity!

While these look fantastic in vibrant filaments, try printing a batch in plain white PLA! A white Moody Pebble becomes the perfect blank canvas. It turns the figurines into a fun, low-mess craft activity where kids can use acrylic paints or paint pens to customize their own rock pal.

Why These Are Perfect for Batch Printing:

• Interactive Surprise: The crackable shell prints perfectly in place around Astro. Just give it a squeeze or a push the top to break the outer wall and reveal the figure inside!
• Kid-Safe Durability: Once hatched, they are chunky, bottom-heavy, and have no thin, fragile protruding parts that could snap off in a pocket or during play.
• High Contrast Faces: The facial expressions are carved using deep negative space, meaning the emotions pop beautifully even in plain, single-color filament.

Printing Tips for Makers:

• The Crackable Shell: Print the asteroid shell as-is.
• Layer Height: Standard 0.2mm layer height works great, but printing at 0.16mm makes the smooth curves and deep expressions look even cleaner.
• Use Bright Colors: Cheerful PLAs make these characters come to life, and printing the mystery asteroid in a dark, sparkly galaxy filament makes the reveal even better!

Print a plate, crack the shell, and keep expanding your Moody Pebbles collection!
