Number in file names is a space for a phone in milimeters
For a phone thickness of 8-16mm - they are also on the bottom of models to show what size it is after a print

To resize the models use the equasion:
‘Needed space (in milimeters)’ divided by ‘model number’ multiplied by 100% = ‘Needed model size in percent’
For example if you need more stable 16mm you can take 10mm version resized to: 16 / 10 * 100% = 160%

Suitable with a phone set horizontally and vertically (tested with a 12mm thick phone) 
The smaller the gap between the print and a phone the more stable the phone stand is
You can resize smaller version to the bigger size for more stabbility

The gap for a phone is cut with 12dgr angle

KEYRING
To make a keyring use a Tortoise model of your choice and add there a keyring model - then merge both models
Keyring models are with a 'frame', a flat surface that will not be printed. This way it is easy to set it in the right spot with a model - Ignore model 'errors' and DO NOT try to 'fix' the model

Keayring-Slim is a thinner version
Use it for a smaller rings on chain

PARTS version
There are holes for eyes (wich are in sepparate file) in the model
If eyes are hard to push in the holes you can use a sandpaper or print eyes with XY compensation (horizontal expansion) - try -0.02 or -0.05

---

MULTICOLOR version
Select files: Body, Claw, Eyes, Shell, Shell-shields - then drop them in the slicer and click 'yes' if asked to merge the models (if there is no notification you will need to merge it by yourself - use right click menu)
You will need to add a Tortoise_MULTI_Negative.. model as negative volume to print a phone stand - just right click on the merged model and 'add negative volume'

I printed it with 2 colors (had no good colors for more)
With 3 (different body color) or 4 (different eyes and claws colors) it may look even better

PRINTING TIPS
Printed with 0.16 and 0.26mm (multicolor) layer height
2-3 walls
NO supports needed
No need of infill but use it if you want a stronger print (I used 10% gyroid)
