Hi Everyone!
Introducing my new Platypus design! A true oddity of the natural world. The more you learn about these funny fellas, the weirder they get. My kind of critter.
It's fully print-in-place, and features a few mechanisms to allow the head to either move freely or pop into a slot that holds it in an upward looking pose. Here's a quick demo video of how it works!
I hope you like it!
Matt

are there any plans for this to be a mini?
The platypus is awesome mate. I've been asked by some customers if there might be more Australian animals in the pipeline?
Just printed one and absolutely love it. Made one using rainbow filament and it fit so well.
I see how adorable you make all of your animals and I wonder if you could make a quokka any cuter than they already are.
could this one be a mini too?
so adorable
Is it possible to make a sea otter?
im printing this beauty now been wanting this for a while thank you mat :)
I need one with a hat, lol
awesome!! *_*
I have printed at 100% and 25% and the models are amazing. Thank you for portraying our Platypus as a serious subject and not a cartoon buffoon. Could you please consider the Australian Frill Necked Lizard and an Echidna as future projects.
If you don't mind me asking, was the model at 25% still articulating, because that's tiny, keychain size even.
The way the platypus body curls reminds me of a pangolin or armadillo. Haven't seen either of those attempted yet.
Ok Matt, fantastic job! Now it only makes sense to do an armadillo! Also, how cute can you make a pill bug?? Anxiously waiting!!
I would be so thrilled with an armadillo or pangolin 😍
It’s so good!!! I printed mine in turquoise and it’s now Perry!!!
I can't wait to print this guy!
Once again, perfect balance of cute & real!
So excited about this! I have one printing now!
I got one down to 50% on my A1. Cute little stinker..
You have outdone yourself once again sir - fantastic work :-)
I made mine a little fedora 😁😍 found a cute for free at cults3d 👍
I was thinking about this! I want to make Perry! LOL
This model is the best printed perfect. So cute
This would make a great Mini! The Mini’s range seem to be a favourite suppose who knew cuteness would sell :p Make more cute animals please..🙏
Yay for an Aussie animal! Would love to see a blue tongue lizard next!
I'm in love 😍
Omg! It’s too cute!!
