28.12.2025 / New Multipart Version (Leg Plug In System)

🆕What’s new?

The octopus legs can now be printed separately without any issues. Since many people had problems with bed adhesion when printing the legs, this should now fix that problem.

There are now two multipart versions available:

the older version, where the legs are permanently attached to the octopus, and
the new version, where the legs can be plugged in and removed.

ℹIn the new version, I’ve also added small labels to the eyes, making them easier to glue in the correct position.

There are also two connector types:

a slightly tighter version (for normal octopus), and
a looser version (for larger octopus) if you want to print a bigger octopus.

ℹThe connectors must be glued in place, so please wait a few minutes until the glue has fully cured.

ℹIf a connector does not fit into a leg, simply scale it down slightly.

⚠ Important: Parts from the old version are not compatible with parts from the new version. Please print either only the old parts or only the new parts, but do not mix them.

---------------------------------------------

Tips for printing:

Filament: PLA
Supports: No!
Layer height: 0.2mm
Wall loops: 3
Infill: 15%
Seam position: back
Wall generator: -
Detect thin walls: -
Brim: No!
BuildPlate: Smooth (Textured Build Plates not recommended!) Use a build plate that you know has good adhesion!
Info!!: Do not scale the Octopus 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 octopus from the print bed!

---------------------------------------------

⚠Warning⚠ 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 (4 Color Version)

PLA / Blue
PLA / LightBlue
PLA / White
PLA / Black

Or decide for yourself which colors and how many you want to use!

---------------------------------------------

ℹThis model is very filament wasteful please keep that in mind! When you decide to print my multicolor Pre-Sliced (3mf file) for BambuLab I would recommend printing several models at once, not just one, to reduce waste! Or you can use my multiple parts version to avoid filament waste!
