Hi Everyone!!

I'm excited to introduce my new Badger design!! I've had a lot of people reach out about Badgers lately, so I thought I'd give it a go!!

Check out a quick Demo Video!

I hope you like it!
Matt

Pictured Prints use the following filaments***
(reference the numbered prints in last image of the gallery)
1) BambuLab Bone White (fur), Ziro Matte Gray, Ziro Matte Black, Ziro Matte White (eyes)
2) Ziro rainbow Blaze, Kingroon Matte Rainbow, Ziro Matte Black, Ziro Matte White
3) Ziro Purple Veil

*BTW, BambuLab Matte Bone White has turned out to be my favorite off-white PLA. I often prefer a more natural white for fur than the typical beaming whites. This one is really great, in my opinion.

3D PRINTING SETTINGS:

  • Body: Print in place

  • Head: Snap-fit to Body using Connector Head. There is a small custom brim around the head to help with adhesion. Remove and discard it after printing

  • Connector Head: Use to connect the heads to the neck.

  • Multicolor 3MFs: (Compatible with PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Orca based slicers)

  • Tool_ConnectorHelper: Simple tool to aid in inserting connector pins (see video)

  • No supports 

  • 10%-15% 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 60% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer.  Your mileage may vary.

How big can it be sized up?

MatMire Makes · March 3, 2026

Typically the only real limit on sizing up is how big you can fit in on your print bed. Scaling down is where you have to be more careful.

Ugh. Taking me forever to catch up on all of the designs, lol. New, paid subscriber here, lol. I just printed the bearded dragons. Sized up the bodies, but forgot to size up the heads, smh. Now I have to print new bodies (I already printed the larger heads), but it's put me behind! Can't wait to get this one on the printer!
