Description

Cute seal with a swiveling ball joint head.

Customization

Head

Default
Hat - Works with hats designed for the Snowman Fidget or Posable Penguin.

Printing

Set seam position to random or place it around the back of the seal’s head.
Add a very slight fuzzy skin to the head and body to add friction to the ball joint.
To limit stare stepping at the top of the snowman head, use variable layer height or hide the a concentric top layer infill pattern.
Add a brim when printing the eyes.

Assembly

Glue eyes into the head.
Hook a scrap of TPU (or similar flexible string) around the hook at the base of the head - use pliers if needed to pull the TPU through.
Thread both ends of the TPU through the body and out through the bottom.
Pull the TPU tight.
Tie the TPU to keep it under tension.
Trim the loose ends of the TPU.

I love that idea :)

Mate, you should make an account on MakerWorld. I see people upload your models there and there’s a user with your name, but no uploads, I get the vibe it’s not actually you. The uploads I see give you credit and stuff, but you should be the one getting those rewards. I know I’d upload print profiles and makes for you on there like I do on here and Printables. Plus, MakerWorld has those new Boost token things that I personally never use that I would love to give to you, easily one of my favorite creators.

Thanks WeirdPrintsPgh!

You're correct, that MakerWorld account is NOT me. I've tried to have the name banned or transferred to prevent a possible scam vector. MW has not responded, so "it is what it is".

As long as people follow the attribution rules and don't use my photos/logo, the CC:BY license technically allows reposts. I find reposting a little silly, but it isn't stealing.

I appreciate your support, that matters more than MW rewards.

I think a print profile can reasonably be considered a remix - it expands upon an existing model and makes it more useful.

So if you wish to post those on MW while following the attribution rules, you would have my blessing and definitely deserve whatever credit MW gives for such work. As for myself, I think maintaining my models on 3 sites (Thangs, Thingiverse, and Printables) is already a lot to juggle.
