RoboTortoise Update! Multiple 3mf options...
Hey Everyone!
I just updated the RoboTortoise to now includes 3 different Multicolor 3mf files!
I understand that the print times and filament use for this fella can be quite a bit, so I thought it would be useful to include some more efficient options in addition to the full 4-color version.
SO! The download now includes these three multicolor options...
4-Color: The full “deluxe” print color scheme.
3-Color: Save on some print time and filament use. Still very detailed coloring.
2-Color: Save even more print time and filament. A bit less detailed coloring, but still very fun!
The 2-color option would be great for people with IDEX printers! Though keep in mind that these 3MF files are not compatible with Cura. If you use Cura for your IDEX machine, I would check to see if there are printer profiles available for your machine in PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, or Orca Slicer.
I also made a few small updates to improve some of the steeper overhangs.
Redownload it now to get this latest version!

Love the look of this guy, scaled down to 60% and it prints great but the back legs can be pulled out/off a bit easy ( with a bit of persuasion they will reattach but can then be pulled off again). Is this because of the size? Would printing it larger give the rear leg joints more purchase and therefore prevent removal? Cheers
Hmm, it could be due to the small size. The smaller you go, any variations in the tolerances can have a more exaggerated effect on the functionality. 60% is pretty small, though I have had success around that size. Machine calibration as well as Filament type/flow/etc can have an effect on tolerances. I'd imagine printing bigger should help.
I'm super new to 3d printing, so I'm still learning. I just printed this over the weekend at 85% on a P1S, four color print. I just noticed on the upper part of the shell on the darker lines under/between the armor they not there, the armor color bled over to the next portion of the armor, would that be over-extrusion? It's only between the right and left side armor parts. It looks similar to the photo on etsy seller mymodernforge's listing. I'm pretty happy with the print overall, but I'd like to solve it for the next attempt.
I'm not entirely sure what you are describing. Maybe send me some pictures so that I can get a better idea. help@matmiremakes.com
Love this turtle. I did the four color print, scaled up to 150%. I have an issue with printing anything 100%. It came out flawlessly, no issues whatsoever. And as the creator states, no supports needed.
Do you need to print with supports? I’m having an issue getting supports out of the back leg area😞😂
Nope, you shouldn’t need to generate supports for any of my articulated designs.
I never got a response so I haven't tried printing it again. I lost 30hrs and filament on that plate.
Anyone having problems with the heads breaking loose? 77% into the print and all heads are wobbling. Just curious because I used the supplied profile scaled to 70%, all models had wobbly heads so it failed the whole plate.
Hey, were you able to get the issue with the head resolved?
I’m half way through printing the original release looks great so far despite the very long print time….
And so it begins, 2 on the build plate, 4 colors at 63 hrs 😁
thank you for the 2 color for us IDEX printers!!!
I'm being asked for a chameleon
Currently on my plate with glow in the dark ✨️
This is epic, my first thought was c3po and r2d2 themes!
Thank I like having options
I love this one and will definitely be doing them in Optimus prime and bumblebee color combos 😁
I love that idea! Haha
Thanks!!!
Love this. Hopefully someday soon you will make a sweet owl!!!
How long did your 4 color print take? 😅
Thank you! I was looking at a 2.5day print 😅
I’m at 82% on the 4 color with 9 hours to go, I got nervous when I got the Patreon notification 🤣
Haha! Sorry for the panic!
I love this so much need to print when I get home 🏡
Awesome this design is unreal!
