Model Release: Gelatinous Ooze Miniature

For our first Curations By Kira Patreon release (one more to come soon), we wanted something that feels fun to handle at the table and looks the way an ooze actually behaves in play.

This is our Gelatinous Ooze, a sectioned miniature that can drape over miniatures, flow over terrain, and jiggle in your hand like a bowl full of jelly (obligatory Christmas reference now out of the way).

Instead of a solid block, the ooze is built from vertical segments that are all connected in the center so the sections can shift while staying attached. On the table, that lets you:

• Settle the ooze over a miniature to show that a character has been swallowed

• Bend the shape slightly over edges, steps, or terrain features

• Give the creature a wobbly, animated feel when you move it or pick it up

Included in this release

You receive:

• (Support-free) Large Gelatinous Ooze (2 x 2 footprint)

• (Support-free) Huge Gelatinous Ooze (3 x 3 footprint)

• D6 fidget in the same segmented style, designed to be a satisfying desk or table toy (light-supports for bottom numbering)

Files for this month are provided to active Drake and Ancient Dragon patrons through Google Drive during the release month. Once the models are available on MyMiniFactory, you will receive a reward link so you can add them to your MyMiniFactory library.

Printing notes

Both gelatinous cube models are designed to print support free because no one likes supports!

General FDM printing recommendations

• Print upright so that the segments stand vertically

• Material: PLA

• Nozzle size: 0.4 mm

• Layer height: 0.2 mm (finer layer heights are fine, just adjust top/bottom layers accordingly)

• Top layers: 4 (0.8 mm)

• Bottom layers: 3 (0.6 mm)

• Walls: 2 (0.8 mm)

• Infill: 10 - 20 percent gyroid (20% lightning infill will also work to save on filament cost)

• No supports required under normal conditions

• The D6 fidget uses similar settings, however, supports are recommended just on the bottom of the model to fill in the numbering.

Note: this model is not designed for resin printing due to the fine interlocking mechanisms inside the model.

Thank you!

Thank you for supporting our first monthly release. We are excited to hear how this ooze performs in your games and to see your printed versions. Let us know what other creatures, tools, or accessories you would like to see in future packs!

Update:

We've uploaded updated V8 models of the Gelatinous Cube miniatures as some users were finding mesh errors that caused the cube sections to merge with some slicers.
