Description
I AM GROOT! We all love Baby Groot at my house, and once I found @dav88's awesome model of him, I knew he'd make a great tap handle. I modified the mesh and inserted a 3/8" UNC thread mesh so it can fit on a standard tap handle bolt.
I recommend a fine resolution to ensure the thread has enough detail for smooth threading onto your faucet's handle/lever screw.
Print it standing up with supports (the chin needs it). Paint the tips of his head with a soft green, paint the eyes with several coats of black nail polish to make them shine.
I'd love to see your final products if you make it!
