Exclusive: ZomBat!! (& Bonus Magnets)

***THIS FILE IS NO LONGER INCLUDED FREE WITH SUBSCRIPTION.
It can be purchased once re-released according to this Schedule.

Happy Spooky Season!

Introducing the ZomBat!  It's just too much macabre fun making these zombified variants.  This model comes with two head versions, one with eyes and one without.  Both have their own ghoulish charm.  I'm also including a pre-painted 3mf with this one, so you can get as crazy as you can imagine with fun color combinations.  Ghostly bone whites also make for a fun spectral vibe.  I hope you like it!  

It uses the same #12 Rubber Bands as the original bat.  Here is a video walkthrough of the original bat:  https://youtu.be/uuSkG2til2E

The ZomBat uses size #12 rubber bands in its wings, like These Rubber Bands*** I also bought an Assorted bag from Staples, which did include size #12. Size #12 is 1-3/4" when measured flattened. (Not Diameter)

This is very unique. I love it! I'm curious how long the 4-color version took to print.

M
MatMire Makes · September 14, 2023

If I remember correctly, it was around 21-22 hours. That would have been at 0.16mm layer height and with both versions of the head on the same plate, so there is room to speed it up too. Also, if you do the version without the eyes and paint the teeth in the bone color, that would drop it down to 3 colors pretty easily.
