🐒 Cheeky: Playful Monkey – CARTOON EDITION (Single color print)
Meet Cheeky, a stylized "chibi" monkey designed to bring a dose of cuteness and mischief to your collection! This figurine features a modern minimalist style with a focus on large, deep eyes and soft organic shapes. Cheeky is the perfect desk companion or a unique gift for any animal lover.
📜 The Happy Explorer of the Treetops
While other monkeys are busy swinging through the canopy, Cheeky prefers to observe the world around her. Our interpretation focuses on the maximum "cuteness" factor. We’ve preserved the iconic monkey features—like the curled tail, playful tuft of hair, and a mischievous smile—all wrapped in an elegant, smooth visual style.
🔍 Model Features
- Rotating Head: Unlike static figurines, Cheeky features a unique mechanical joint that allows you to rotate her head to change her expression and direction of gaze.
- Endlessly Expressive Eyes: Large eyes made of multiple parts give Cheeky an innocent and curious look that you’ll fall in love with instantly.
- Perfect Stability: Despite her proportions and large head, Cheeky is designed to stand firmly on all four legs.
- Color Freedom: Cheeky looks great in neon green, azure, or even classic sand or grey. If you’re feeling creative, print the model in neutral white—it makes the perfect "canvas" to hand-paint with acrylics and create a truly unique original! Let your imagination run wild.
🖨 Print Settings
- Layer height: 0.16 mm (for smooth surfaces and fine detail)
- Perimeters: 2
- Infill: 8% (Gyroid for optimal strength)
- Supports: Required (Organic/Tree supports highly recommended).
- ⚠ IMPORTANT: Be extremely careful when removing supports.
📏 Model Size
- Standard height: approx. 10 cm
- Scaling options: Scaling up works perfectly. If scaling down below 75%, please note that eye assembly may become difficult due to the very small parts.
🎨 Color Printing (Single color print)
No AMS, ACE PRO, or MMU required. The model is designed for easy multi-color results on single-material machines. The eyes are printed as separate pieces and inserted into Cheeky’s head, allowing you to customize the look without a filament swapper.
🧩 Assembly
- Head: Carefully snap the head onto the neck joint. The mechanism allows for smooth rotation.
- Eyes: Each eye consists of three parts (white highlight, iris, and pupil) which are inserted directly into the head. To ensure Cheeky doesn't "lose an eye" during handling, we recommend a small drop of superglue.
🗂 Available Files
- 3MF files for BambuLab, Anycubic, and Elegoo
- STL files for all other slicers
Did you find a place for Cheeky in your collection? I’d love to see your prints in the "Makes" section! Every "Like" motivates me to create more characters.
