Pixel Turkey Leg Fidget

In honor of my favorite part of the turkey, I’ve made a Pixel Turkey Leg Fidget 🦃 This is the perfect fidget toy to play with on the big day:)

This prints in two parts: (1) the turkey leg ‘meat’ piece and (2) the turkey leg ‘bone’ piece

3D Printing Instructions:

•  Layer Height 0.2mm 
• Infill 10-15% 
• Supports needed around the outside of the ‘bone’ and under peg at the narrow end of the ‘meat’ 
• Outside brim recommended for ‘meat’ part of the print

Basic PLA is the best for this print. Like my other recent pixel style fidgets, I don’t recommend PLA Silk or PLA Matte filaments for this print. It is very detailed (on the inside) and the tolerances are small. I printed several of these in these three types of filaments and Basic PLA always printed the best and had smoother “movement” when done.

I have included a 3mf file with the following print profiles:                                                         Print Plate #1: Pixel Turkey Leg Meat (1 color, brown), supports added for ‘peg’, outside brim (see photo)

Print Plate #2: Pixel Turkey Leg Bone (1 color, white); this piece prints upright so supports added at sides of outside (see photo)

After printing, slide the 'bone' piece onto the 'meat' piece and you're ready to fidget. If needed, you can secure it with a little super glue.

Have fun printing!!
