Autism Awareness Duck – Early Release for April
As some of you may be aware, April is Autism Awareness Month. To honor this, I’ve created a special Autism Awareness Duck, as requested by a few members of the community. She will be part of the April pack, but with Autism Awareness Day falling on April 2nd, I’ve decided to release this model a little early so you have time to print her beforehand.
I’ve kept the design relatively simple, featuring the Autism Awareness logo on the front of her body as a meaningful tribute. This duck is a small way to show support, start conversations, and celebrate the amazing individuals in the autism community.
I’ll be sending Patreon members a new link via Patreon Messenger later today with access to the early file. It will also still be included in the regular April files.
Here are the printed photos—I hope you like her, and I really look forward to seeing your versions. Thank you all for your continued support, and as always, happy printing!

Romwba, I am trying to print the Duck in 4 colors. Is there a .3mf file to use with my 4 color printer?
Hi I don’t provide 3mf files but if you watch this video it shows you how to load the models and allocate the filament to colour the model it literally takes 2mins per model :) https://youtu.be/SAODboUkO5s?si=4GmgFIeXr20V5ZIc
I love this. My oldest works in a school for hankicapped kids and I know she'll love it. To speed things up a bit I did the body and beak separate and want to do the puzzle pieces on the body separate as well. I did that, which is a callenge at 50%, :-) and noticed that the heart is still protruding and the yellow piece prints with the body. This makes it look as though the piece is missing. Would the heart be able to be recesses and all four pieces be able to print?
Hi Dan it’s designed to be printed all together not separately sorry the puzzle pieces print with the main body
Hi. I'm trying to figure out how I can do this on a 4 color machine, once the red and green are finished, I can swap them out for orange and black, but how would I get the white in there. It looks like the bridge of the bill goes up higher than the point where the eyes start.
Its printed on sections body eyes and bill if you want to swap out the colours just print the bill separate
I wanted to keep the design clean but you can change colours when you print it
If I print this at 50% other than the size do I have to make any other changes? Thank you for your great work.
No it should be fine ;)
This is absolutely amazing, thank you. I have so many family and friends who will love this addition. Thanks again!
Your welcome :)
