The result? A unique, colorful, and eco-conscious art piece that brings trunkfuls of charm and sustainability into your space.

Print Instructions:

This is advanced print. Please use 3MF file attached, if you use 3MF your print will be successful. 3MF has many adjustments to make it work. It has pause to place the poop in. It doesn’t have any internal supports so it is easy to place the poop in. Supports are a bit stronger to avoid break when bottom of the belly is being printed.

If you print STL you are on your own, please slow down the print by 50%, make sure your supports are strong and there is no supports inside of the model.
