GOODesign is a design studio established in Seoul, Korea by a representative who has been active in product design and 3D CG field for 20 years. As a design company that pursues a reasonable and differentiated digital design, it has always presented a new direction through working with clients such as Hyundai Motor, Siemens Korea and beiersdorf. This time, we have put out the life product for 3D printing by utilizing various technique design based on the shape of the Class-A surface. These products are especially the result of deep research on the 3D printing dominant shape that can not be mass-produced using a mold.

As people pollute the sea, many sea animals are disappearing. Among them, sea turtles are rapidly disappearing and endangered. Sea turtles are also popular with children. I applied the folding design to this wonderful animal and made it into 3D printing.

The front feet can move up and down, and the rear feet can move back and forth.
One thing to note when printing this design is that you need to pay special attention to the adhesion of the bed, as the front feet and rear feet can fall off the bed during printing and shake.

I hope it will be an opportunity to think about what we can do for animals that disappear with children.

When expanded, size = X 149mm, Y 56mm, Z 56mm After folding X 91mm, Y 111mm, Z 35mm

    You recommend 4mm retraction for the Prusa in both the S3D and Slic3r settings. This cannot be correct. Did you mean 0.4mm retraction?

    I have it printing right now in Silk Copper PLA at 150%. I had to restart because 4mm retraction caused heat creep and jammed the extruder.

    Retraction and silk PLA is a bad idea generally... silk PLA actually expands a bit when heated, thus the layers mush together better and less layer lines. But retracting that? yeah, clog time.
