Brock the Badger - Low Poly ZOO

Hello, my name is Brock

A sturdy, curious low-poly badger with the famous striped face, built for multi-material FDM printing. About 750 big flat facets and five colours - a grey coat, a dark grey back and legs, a white face with dark stripes, brown claws and a tiny green eye.

The face stripes follow the facets, so every colour edge is crisp and nothing gets fuzzy.

Brock is part of my Low Poly ZOO series - animals made in the same style, scale and colour language, so they look good together on a shelf.

What you get

Three pre-painted project files with the colours already assigned as MMU painting. Open the one for your printer in PrusaSlicer, load your filaments and print - no manual painting needed.

• Badger_CORE_One_INDX_8T.3mf - Prusa CORE One INDX, 8 tools - all five colours

• Badger_XL_5T.3mf - Original Prusa XL, 5 toolheads - all five colours

• Badger_CORE_One_INDX_4T.3mf - Prusa CORE One INDX, 4 tools - four colours: the green eye joins the dark grey

On a printer with two tools, print the grey coat and the white face with its dark stripes - that is what makes it a badger.

Recommended filaments

Prusament PLA: a mid or light grey for the coat, Galaxy Black or a dark grey for the back, legs and face stripes, Pristine White for the face and tail tip, Noctua Brown for the claws and a bright green for the eye. Any colours work - a honey badger in black and white is a filament swap away.

See it before you print it Preview3D opens 3D models and G-code the way Quick Look opens a PDF - on a Mac, an iPad, an iPhone and Apple Vision Pro. Point your camera at the code and this badger stands on your own table in AR, at the size it will actually print. Nothing to install: it opens as an App Clip, shows the model, and leaves. Check the fit before the filament. See how big a print really is next to the shelf it is meant for. Open what can't preview. STEP, painted 3MF, STL, OBJ, glb, glTF, FBX and about a dozen more - plus G-code with a layer slider. Thumbnails in the Finder and Files, so a folder of downloads stops looking like a folder of blank pages. Publishing a model yourself? Make the same animation for it at preview3d.xfanta.com/qr - paste your model's link and get a QR code and a ready-made GIF for every file in it. Free, and it runs in your browser.

Print settings

• Size: about 119 × 48 × 75 mm as delivered (length × width × height)

• Layer height: 0.2 mm (0.15 mm for smoother facets)

• Nozzle: 0.4 mm

• Infill: 10-15 %, any pattern

• Supports: about 11 % of the surface overhangs, mostly under the head and the belly. Let PrusaSlicer add organic supports where it suggests them; they leave little trace on the flat facets.

• Orientation: as in the 3MF, standing on its four feet. The contact area is decent (about 490 mm² in total), so a brim is optional - a good idea on a textured sheet.

• Scaling: delivered at about 119 mm long. The thinnest parts are the claws and the ears, so don't scale it down; scale up freely.

Show your print

Post your colour combinations as a Make under this model - I'd love to see them.

Please don't re-upload the model itself: recoloured copies published as new models (here or elsewhere) aren't allowed.

More animals from the ZOO series are coming - follow if you want the whole herd.
