Steampunk Squirrel – Ornamental Mechanical Creature (STL)

This STL contains a single-piece sculpt of a stylized steampunk squirrel standing on its haunches with a large, flowing tail and intricate ornamental patterns carved across its body. The model features engraved swirls, layered fur texturing, a decorative collar with studs, and a mechanical gear embedded in the flank. The pose is balanced for a stable base, and details are optimized for capturing crisp relief in resin prints or fine FDM setups. Ideal as a decorative statuette, diorama element, or hobby display piece.

Technical Specifications

File format: STL

Mesh: Watertight / manifold (designed as single shell)

Units: Millimeters (mm)

Approximate bounding box (example): 85 × 70 × 120 mm (scaleable) — final size depends on slicer scale

Triangle count: High-poly (suitable for high-detail printing)

Recommended minimum feature size: 0.5–1.0 mm (verify per printer)

Print Recommendations

Best printer: MSLA / resin for finest detail and crisp ornamental lines.

FDM recommendation: Use 0.12–0.16 mm layer height, 0.4 mm nozzle, enable ironing and slow print speed for surface quality.

Supports: Likely needed under the jaw, inner tail overhangs, and gear/underside details. Orient with tail slightly tilted backward for stability, or print upright on base.

Infill: 10–20% for display pieces (higher if you want weight).

Wall/shell: 2–3 perimeters for FDM; 1.5–2 mm shell equivalent for resin.
