Introducing the Tardigrade... aka "Water Bear", aka "Moss Piglet"!! I've been wanting to make an articulated Tardigrade for quite some time. They are just such odd and fascinating creatures... and they posed a unique design challenge.
For those unfamiliar... Tardigrades are microscopic animals that have uncanny and unmatched survival abilities. They can adapt their bodies to weather the dangers of extreme cold, extreme heat, immense radiation, and can even survive the vacuum of space. How cool!
Multicolor 3MF included (Compatible with PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Orca Slicer, etc.)!
Please, share photos of your makes! I would love to see them!

This should generally scale down to 60-65% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer. Some were printed successfully down to 50%. YMMV
