I made this tardigrade model for a local Researchers’ Night event.
This lovely critter is the toughest animal on earth. With it's Cryptobiosis superpower, this little bear can withstand extreme temperatures, dehydration, hard vacuum and high pressure, and even radiation.

Designed to be printable without supports.
The tiny claws tend to string a little, but nothing a trusty heat gun couldn't solve :)

Have fun!
