About this model
<p>A small, highly detailed tortoise sculpt featuring authentic shell scute</p><p>patterns with growth rings, textured wrinkled skin on the legs and neck,</p><p>and clawed feet. Printed as a single static piece — no assembly required.</p><p> </p><p>Size: ~70 x 44 x 36 mm (scale freely in your slicer)</p><p> </p><p>--- Credits & License ---</p><p>Original 3D sculpt: "Tortoise Realistic Stylized Animal Character" by</p><p>s8819296 (Sketchfab), licensed under CC Attribution (CC-BY 4.0).</p><p>This upload is a print-ready adaptation of that model, shared under the</p><p>same CC-BY terms. Please keep this attribution if you remix/reshare.</p><p> </p><p>--- Print Settings ---</p><p>Layer height: 0.16–0.2 mm (finer layers show the shell texture better)</p><p>Infill: 10–15%</p><p>Supports: Not required for most of the model. The legs rest in a natural</p><p>walking pose, so two feet sit a few mm above the bed — this prints fine</p><p>without supports, but you can enable "supports touching buildplate only"</p><p>if you want extra safety under the front legs.</p><p>Brim: Recommended (small footprint, helps bed adhesion)</p><p>Material: PLA (or any standard filament)</p><p>Nozzle: 0.4 mm standard</p><p> </p><p>No orientation changes needed — import and print as-is.</p>
