Exclusive: MMMini Sloth!! with Santa Hat version!

*** THIS FILE IS NO LONGER INCLUDED FREE WITH SUBSCRIPTION.
Members can purchase it once re-released, according to this Schedule.

Hi Everyone!

Introducing the new Subscriber Exclusive MMMini Sloth!! I couldn't resist doing a Sloth along with a bit of holiday styling. The hooked hands can make them great as tree ornaments, stocking decorations, etc. Lots of possibilities!

This mini is 100% print-in-place, and requires no supports.  Its a quick and easy print that scales down very well.  I've included both regular and keychain versions.  I did 3 versions of the keychain since each hand could be a keychain loop. There is one with closed loops on all limbs, the front hands only, and the feet only. I think I like the "Keychain_Rear" version the most since you can use the feet for the keychain and the hands as hanging hooks. :)

There are also a pre-painted 3MF for those who want to print it in multicolor! Printing the Santa Hat version is a little more complex since most people are limited by 4-slot multicolor printers, but you can easily get a 5th color to print the hat in red by performing a filament swap just after the eye mask finishes. There is more info on this in the PDF guide, included in the download.

Check out a little preview video HERE.

I hope you like it!
Matt

3D Print information:

  • MMMini Sloth:  Includes regular and several keychain versions. There are looped hand options for front, rear, and all hands.  

  • Multicolor 3MF files! (For PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, and Orca based slicers)
    - Sloth 4-Color
    - Sloth 5-Color
    - Sloth with Santa Hat 4-slot (5 colors if you swap the red in) (see guide for more info)
    - Sloth with Santa Hat 5-slot (6 colors if you swap the red in) (see guide for more info)

  • 10% Infill (I recommend Gyroid, Crosshatch or 3D Honeycomb)

  • 3 Walls. (Assuming 0.4mm nozzle. Adjust wall count to account for alternate nozzle sizes)

This should generally scale down to about 50% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer.  Your mileage may vary.

Hello · December 3, 2025

Can I ask how you get the gradient filiment versions looking so good? Everytime I try a rainbow it just all ends up being flat with mostly 1 color used before the print is done.

There’s a few factors. Color transition time. A lot of the Ziro gradient filaments I use have faster color transitions. Many filament listings say how many grams it takes for the color shifts, so you can sort of predict it with that. How big the print is or how many copies you have on the plate, so that you’re using more of that filament. If you have a gradient that you know is a slow transition, add another copy of the model or some other models that might look good in that color. Last, is a bit of luck. Sometimes the transitions work out great and other times they weren’t what I expected at all. :)

Perfect! I was just about to look for a brown-colored item to print so I didn't have to change my filament. This is five colors, then?

love them! is it possible to have a very short nail version? We have had issues with long nails like this on keychains catching on peoples pockets.

On the "Keychain_all" version, each claw is a closed circle. There are no open hooks on that one, so it shouldn't catch pockets. :)
