Tartalexa

Tartalexa will transform your boring Amazon Echo Dot into a nice sea turtle. Just pop your Echo Dot into the case and let the turtle begin.

This model can be printed with or without supports and with a minimum of 5% gyroid infill (basically the minimum infill needed to support top layers). The circular tolerances are quite large (1 mm radius tolerance) to avoid excessive coverage of the Eco Dot speakers. The cable slot is perfectly aligned with the top of the case, which allows for easy movement and rotation.

 

Printer and setting

Printed on a stock Ender 3 Pro with Ender Series gray PLA. Turned out to be 46g (about 15.5m).

Bed: 60°

Extruder: 190°

Infill: 9%

Walls: 4

Speed: 40mm/s (20mm/s first layer)

Support: 50° angle, 5% density

If you are ok with this settings you can just download and print my gcode. 

Important: If your printer does support G2/G3 commands, you can use the “Tartalexa-arcwelded.gcode” file in Other files>Tartalexa arc welded.zip (I'm sorry I had to upload it in this way but printables didn't let me upload gcode files that uses G3 command). No real advantages other than having a 4Mb gcode file instead of an 11Mb one.
