Each of your models is a masterpiece... Could I ask you to make the tail a bit longer (by 3-4 links)? I would even buy the tail separately...)) I repeat, they are magnificent. All the animals.

Hi MatMire, a lot of people are asking me if there’s a mini or keychain rat. Is it something that someday will come or will it only be the big rat☺️?

bonsoir très beau rat mais il me manque les pouces sur les deux pattes avant?

M
MatMire Makes · May 21, 2024

Salut! Les rats n'ont pas de pouces, seulement 4 doigts. Le modèle a été mis à jour sans les pouces car il est plus précis.

Anyone else having issues with putting the Rat head on the body? We're having to use a heat gun and soften the knob to get it to pop into the body. Hasnt been this difficult to get the head on with any of the other MMM models.

any way to add a chef's hat to this guy?

Luis Albero · May 10, 2024

I just printed it. Amazing ! Little feedback. This time, I dont know why, I could not change eyes colors. Going to objects I could see only 3 parts and the head didnt have eyes separate. So I had to load my AMS with the same order as you created the file to have them black and white. The tail and body were ok, but again I have to put the colors on AMS in a sequence not to change on Bambu Studio as it was not working. (i tried other STL's that worked fine)

MatMire Makes · May 10, 2024

Interesting. I'm not totally sure I follow, and maybe I'm misunderstanding. You should be able to select the eye color area in the filaments section of the "prepare" tab and assign any AMS slot to it. You can use that method to swap any of the colors around. BTW, I never leave the eyeballs as separate object parts on my models. They are always merged into the head.

Printed the rat at 70% for my kids and they are now begging for more. 😍

Kenny and Katie M · May 8, 2024

I was a little skeptical of this print at first cause I thought it was super similar to the opossum. But after printing this little guy I realize he really is completely different with his own individual personality. Thanks Mat!

Aaron Kornberger · May 2, 2024

Having issues with the tail coming apart at 80 percent scale.😪

M
MatMire Makes · May 7, 2024

If that happens it's usually due to under-extrusion/low flow. It's basically the same tail/joint design as in many of my other models, so it should print the basically the same. You can email me at help@matmiremakes if you want me to help troubleshoot.

Ist it just me or is the rat not in the download files yet?

That sometimes happens with the browser cache, I think. You might have to log out and back in to patreon.

Skunk, Hedge Hog, or Chameleon please?

RandyA · April 26, 2024

Having issue with this print. It seem there was higher areas that were extruded and then toolhead knock them a few time moving around and on my Bambu P1P the cover fell off and screwed the print at 25% and it hit so much it shifted the PEI Build plate. Using the 3MF file

Hippie · April 25, 2024

they are so brittle he tails keep breaking off any updates

M
MatMire Makes · May 7, 2024

Hmm, it's essentially the same tail design that I've been using on many models and I haven't really heard of many issues. When I have, it has usually been extrusion/flow problems. There are a lot of variables that can cause extrusion issues, or strength issues. I guess my advice would be to try it with a different filament to see if that helps, or dial in your flow, temperatures, etc. You can email me pics, and maybe it will give me some insight. help@matmiremakes.com

As a rat breeder these will be fun. I like putting a 3D snake in my displays at shows sometimes, so 3D rat in a tub in the rat room occasionally to mess with kids will be fun

Burning Phoenix · April 24, 2024

Looks awesome, going to print once I finish the rattlesnake.
