Hey Everyone!
Here it is... the Crested Gecko!! It's been a little while since I've made a new lizard! The Crestie is possibly my most requested design, so I'm really excited to finally be able to release one.
This design comes with two separate snap-fit tail options. In reality, Crested Geckos drop their tails quite easily, and unlike many other lizards... theirs don't grow back. As a result, there are many many cresties out there without tails. I wanted that to be an option for my model too, so you can print either the full tail or the little nub. Even better, print both! If your crestie's tail has an accident, you can swap it out for the nub. haha.
Here's a little walkthrough video of the model's features.
Happy Printing!
Matt

3D PRINTING SETTINGS
Body: Print-In-Place. (So far I do not see a need for custom brims, but let me know if you feel they would help. note: generating brims in-slicer can make final cleanup a bit more work.)
Head: Snap-Fit to Body. Pre-Supported for easy printing. No additional support needed.
Full Tail: Print-in-place. Snap-fit to Body
Nub Tail: Print-in-place. Alternate tail option. Snap-fit to Body
5-15% Infill.
3 Walls.
This has been test printed as low as 60% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer. The "full tail" is the part most likely to fail at small sizes, so if you go with the "nub" it can likely scale down even further. YMMV
Here is a quick video showing the easiest method for snap-fitting the head onto the body: https://youtu.be/P9llZj7NBvs?t=57

Could you do mini crested gecko like you did with bearded dragon and axolotl? π₯Ή
Polymer Designs
Love this!!! Have you thought about making a platypus?? I think you would do an amazing design

It's Stronghro Marble Rainbow. Unfortunately, it's currently unavailable. Hopefully they bring it back

What filament is in the main picture
MatMire_Makes
I haven't yet. For lizards I have done the Beardie, Leo Gecko, and the Crestie.

The full tail is usually pretty easy to remove again. The nub ranges from not-too-bad to impossible-to-remove. Mostly depending on how strong the filament is. There just isn't much to grab onto for leverage.
Roberto Mello
It would be cool if we could switched tails :-)
Kyle
I have a customer looking for an Ackie lizard. Have you ever done one of those?
Sarah Small
I love this model! Is it possible to get a version that has spots for magnets in the feet so he will cling to things? I have magnets that are 6 X2 mm round.
Kelly Rapley
love them now we need a lizard animal carrier
Osmia Confections
Look at those colours. It is a masterpiece! Congrats!!!
Kris Garner
I printed a batch of these at 50% and the front section of the body and several of the tail sections, the ball joint falls apart.
MatMire_Makes
Iβm actually working on that change right now!
Mario Schweizer
While I absolutely love this model (my favorite so far), the tip of the tail bothers me! It seems to be the same mesh used as on the ballpython? Cresties have another "suction pad" similar to the ones on their toes at the end of their tail. Therefore the tip of the tail should be less pointy and somewhat flatter instead of round. Hope that makes sense! Awesome model anyway, already printing the second one!
Sarah Small
So excited to print this!

CUTEST THING EVER!

Just printed it, These models are definetly getting better, the eyes on this one looks amazing and they're so easy to paint on the bambu slicer! the only thing id say is the head was a little dificult to attach this time. took a bit of work to get it right. Also, the supports come off like butter too, amazing stuff!
Lucy
