Tips for printing:
Filament: PLA
Supports: No!
Layer height: 0.16mm(0.15mm) or 0.2mm
Wall loops: 3
Infill: 15%
Seam position: back
Wall generator: Classic
Detect thin walls: No!
Brim(Multipart): Use only brim on the eyes if you have problems with adhesion! Don't use a brim on the other models!
BuildPlate: Smooth (Textured Build Plates not recommended!) Use a build plate that you know has good adhesion!
Info!!: Do not scale the Crab any smaller otherwise the connections will no longer work!
Info!!: If you apply too much force to the legs they may break because the connections are small!
Info!!: Please be careful when removing the Crab from the print bed!

❌‼Disclaimer‼❌ These files are provided for personal, non-commercial use only! This model is not suitable for young children or pets! Please store this model safely in environments with young children and pets, as small parts may pose a choking hazard or cause injuries. Avoid applying strong force, as it may damage the model and create hazardous fragments. After 3D printing, keep the model in a secure location out of reach of children and pets. Follow these precautions for safe use.
------------------------------------------------------
Colors and filament I used (3 Color):
PLA Matte / Red
PLA Matte / White
PLA Matte / Black
Or decide for yourself which colors and how many you want to use!
ℹ This model is very filament wasteful please keep that in mind! When you decide to print my multicolor Pre-Sliced (3mf file) I would recommend printing several models at once, not just one, to reduce waste!
------------------------------------------------------
ℹ New multicolor version (12.07.2026) (3mf)! This model is no longer pre-painted in the slicer – you can now freely choose which color goes where directly in your slicer for a better look and easier handling!
(Quick tip: identical colors next to each other won’t work – always place different colors side by side to avoid potential issues.)
You can now print the crab in multiple Parts! I made a little assembly guide:
Press the left and the right eye into the guide and glue them on
2. Glue the inner_eye_left and right peaces on
3. Finished!
23.12.2024 = Added Multipart
12.07.2026 = Added New Multicolor Model
