Description
Print gummy bears in your favorite colors! Option to make into a TPU squeaky toy!
1. Download The Squeaker! or The Squeaker! Mini
- Print in PLA: Follow the instructions closely to print out the Reed & Squeaker Tube parts and carefully assemble The Squeaker! and test for sound.
2. Download Gummy Bears
- Print in TPU: Use one of the 3MF files provided to print the gummy bear (several 3MF files available with different settings, see notes)
3 walls (harder)
I initially printed these with 3 walls to try to keep it airtight, but at 100% scale, it's a bit hard/rigid – feels like a stale gummy bear candy :) I might try scaling it up and keeping the 3 walls…
2 walls (softer & riskier)
I printed a bunch of them with 2 walls and increased the top shell thickness to 1.2mm to help avoid air holes (increased the bottom shell thickness for a more consistent feel too).
They are much softer and satisfying to squish!
I made over a dozen of these (with the 2 walls 3MF file attached here) and brought them to 3D Printopia to share.
I'd love to see all the different colors of gummy bears everyone makes!
