Single Extruder - Dual Color - Octopus (fusion360)

Remix Info:

Made a 2 color versions of the base model

Summary:

An Octopus model modified with the dual color technique. The model prints in two part that slide into each other.

Model Description:

The fusion360 file is given would you like to see how I did it, to modify it , …, or if you simply want to adjust the tolerances to your needs for example.

The model tries to depict a Blue-ringed octopus, the most commonly known toxic octopus. In reality the animal has blue rings but in this model I had to open them up a bit to allow connections between the inner and outer parts.

Printing info:

• Scaling down can be tricky since the tolerances will scale accordingly aswell, I recommend tweaking the tolerances in fusion first, then to scale it as you wish.
• Split the model to its parts before printing them separately then, when done, they should simply slide into each other
• The rings make the model more difficult to print, you will have to take some time (~10min) to clean up the underside by removing all supports. I recommend using normal concetric supports as they are easier to remove in this case.
