Squirrel by MBCook

Well folks — it’s gotten to be that time of the year.  I hope you’ve stored away enough nuts to make it through the winter.

If you haven’t, perhaps you can print out an army of these squirrels by MBCook to help you gather enough to get you through.  I suspect ABS (or PLA) squirrels don’t eat very much…but then maybe they’re not quite as quick as real squirrels either.

Whatever the case, it’s clear that you need a whole lot of plastic squirrles for a crisp fall day like this.

This is a 3D model of a squirrel that I found on Aim@Shape [1]. It was uploaded by MPII and is actually under the MPII Institute License, which you can view by clicking on the download link on the things page at Aim@shape. I flattened the base and cleaned up some artifacts on the tail that I'm guessing were the result of scanning. This is the most work I've ever done on a model (I used Netfabb and Blender to clean it), so I learned a lot, and he came out very cute. My print came before I caught an error in the model, which caused the bandana looking line. It slices correctly now. [1] shapes.aimatshape.net/view.php?id=105
