Cute Articulated Crab & Decorative Cooking Pot

NOTE: The images are of the BAMBU STUDIO model. As I do not own any Prusa printer, or know how to use Prusa Slicer properly, I cannot guarantee your prints will look the same as mine if you use the converted Prusa .3mf files.

This Stylized Crab doesn't want you to cook him; he just likes to hide in the pot! Please do not use the pot for actual cooking.

The crab has 22 points of articulation, including a new “swivel” joint I had not tried before on the arms. The legs are floppy so he can rest over bumps and other surfaces. He is best printed using the Bambu Lab “Pla Basic gradient - Solar Breeze” filament. The pot uses “PLA Metal - iron grey” and “PLA Basic - bronze”.

Supports are not needed on the crab or pot base. Even if the slicer says it is recommended to use them, I printed mine without them. I also did not use a brim, and would recommend just using a freshly cleaned/glued hotbed with no brims. The pot lid may print better with supports, but I didn't use any for mine.
