This Membership gives you access to any of my models you see on Thangs. All Models have been test printed before postings to here, as it should be. Members can expect to find a growing list of models that include functional prints as well as purely cosmetic prints. There will be some Cosplay, Kid centered prints, some Tools, and even some Industrial Electronics equipment as well, so it's like my own little bizarre.
The 2nd tier membership currently is to help support my goal of running my own business.

All models are 100% tested and working BEFORE posting to the site. All models have been printed in PETG as well to help ensure that more difficult or specialty materials should pose no problems. Simply download, slice, and print. Any slicing recommendations will be posted with the model as well to further make the user experience as easy and painless as possible. While this is also true on my other membership, this plan will include more models and variations of those models.

This is a model inspired by an event boss in the FFVII Ever Crisis mobile game. For fans of the Final Fantasy series it's highly specific to this one game, though the cactuar itself isn't. If any requests come for a regular cactuar version, I would be happy to oblige. There are multiple pieces to print, but assembly is pretty straight forward and only required to keep printing as simple as possible. *Edit, for some reason the present bag keeps not loading. Hopefully this edit will have it in there. **Edit, GBC main body V2 has been edited to change leg positioning and hopefully keep this model inspiring joy and nostalgia as it was intended. (Thanks for the feedback, wish everyone well.)

  1. The GBC Main Body V2 prints first along with the Cylindrical Peg and Present Bag. These 3 pieces can be press fit without glue by placing one present in each "glove" and then pressing down on the Present bag by the Cylindrical Peg. It will work like a wedge. However if glue is something one wants to use, there are two holes pre-made into the present bag to allow it to line up right.
  2. The GBC foot "rolls" into the Foot Adapter and is held in place by two different snap fittings. (My kids made a habit of snapping off one of them, so I implemented two that work in tandem or alone and if your tolerances are spot on or not.) No glue should be needed at all, but again can be used if wanted. The bottom snap can be pushed up from the bottom to facilitate the rolling action if tolerances are very tight.
  3. The Foot Adapter is placed into the Base (any version) by lining up the cylindrical hole with the cylindrical peg that is made onto the Food Adapter, then rocking the rest of the piece down into place. Should be fairly tight, but loose enough that the piece will rock back and forth. I made the design to be used with magnets, so the Foot Adapter was made with a hollow shank that also allows a Paperclip to be unfolded and placed through it and the base together. This will keep the piece from trying to come apart when people press against the magnets to make the Cactuar dance back and forth a bit.
  4. There is tight tolerance hole on the base for an 8mm Neodymium Magnet (can be found online or at Harbor Freight for those who have access to one) and another on the bottom of the Foot Adapter. The idea is to place the magnets into the holes with opposing poles to create magnetic repulsion resulting in that "mid-step" look and to allow kids to play with it and even try using it like a catapult. Once the 8mm Magnets are in place bigger/smaller ones can be placed on them to increase the magnetic pull/push as you wish. So it also doubles as fun science for kids if you so wish.

All summed up quickly at a glance:

  1. snap the cylinder peg into the back of the body 2.slide the present bag onto the cylinder while positioning a present box into each hand and pushing nearest the cylinder
  2. roll the body's foot into the foot adapter
  3. rock foot adapter into base
  4. place neodymium magnets and paperclip into base to better secure and add flair.
