Hey All!
Introducing my take on the world's largest rodent, the Capybara! This was a fun fella to explore. They have the most interesting blocky heads, and eyes that you can never quite tell if they're happy, grumpy, or something in-between.
I hope you like it!
Cheers!
Matt

Here's a quick video of the head assembly.
This should generally scale down to about 60% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer. YMMV

Printing the Bambu 3MF on A1s, and the 100% scale head attachment clip doesn't rotate into position like on the other models. Can't event force it with leverage from a screwdriver. Other models like the bearded gecko it just rotates into place w/o much effort. Any ideas?
It should rotate freely. If it doesn’t, the first thing I usually suggest is to make sure that supports weren’t turned on. If not that, I would double check the print preview to see if there is any fusing between the joint and the head. Some settings can alter the mesh and cause problems (like “make overhangs printable”)
I would also love to see a mini of this please Mat!
Any plans for a baby/mini capybara?
what is the smallest these should be made?
You should totally make a wombat model! Love your stuff!
how about a quokka =) You know how to add the cuteness perfectly
Hey Mat! Been loving the models. Question. The crested gecko I have the tail disconnects at the exact same spot every time (after printing). I’ve scaled it, 80%, 90% and now 100% and still the same failure at the same spot, nowhere else. Bambu Carbon x1, Xiro gold and red filament, recalibrated machine yesterday. Any known fix for it?
Oh weird. I did redesign those joints for the Hognose, which should make them more secure. I can retrofit the newer joints to this model, but I’m not sure exactly when I’ll get to it. Shouldn’t be too long.
You keep upping the 3D print game! Love this one because it's my favorite small animal. Thanks for the amazing work on these.
Thanks!!
We love this model!! Not sure if anyone else is seeing the same issue, but the connector for the head did not print well on the first one we tried.
It should behave almost identically to a bunch of my other models. I reused that part exactly. Have you had trouble there with my other recent models? Maybe it was just a fluke.
lovely <3
What’s the brim gap setting? They pop right off for you!
I typically use 0.35mm. You may have to experiment a bit for your printer, but that has worked great for me!
That means a guinea pig should be coming soon lol
I'm down for a guinea pig too!!!
This is GREAT GREEN HELL vibes all the way bro nice work
New releases have become a running joke in my house, you ALWAYS release the CUTEST THINGS the night before I vend a huge show. Guess I'm pulling another all nighter. What a great job!! ❤️
Oh no! haha. Sorry about that. The timing just always seems to land at the end of the week.
love this!!
Genial, es un animal típico aquí en Uruguay.
Nailed it! 👊
This may be Even cuter than a ferret!
Obsessed!
I think you mean a crappybarbra good sir. 😝

You keep doing this… releasing new things when I’m on the road but jokes on you this time I brought a printer with me, this should be a fun print to play with tonight.

Love, love, love!!!
