Skidward The Traffic Cone

Skidward The Traffic Cone

Description

The scared autocross cone (aka Skidward according to Blipshift, even though he clearly resembles Patrick, not Squidward). Inspired by one of my favorite Blipshift shirts, I just had to make a 3D model of him to bring him to life. He makes a great addition to an autocross course, RC track, crawler course, garage, car show, construction site, etc. I've printed one at 200% out of TPU and it's about the size of a real traffic cone and just as soft. Please share a pic wherever you end up using him! I would love to pictures of him taunting drivers out at an autocross or track day; printed from TPU of course. :) . . . Printing/assembly Notes: Both the cone and the base print standing up, support free if using PLA. I had to use support on the mouth of the cone when printing out of TPU. No support required for the tongue. Use support for both the eyes and the black eye inserts (pupils). I'd recommend printing the eyes and eye inserts at a fine resolution if possible (.1mm layer height). The parts will fit together without any glue, just press the parts together. I did, however, apply some superglue to the tongue to prevent it from popping out. The cone should pop into the base, you may need to squeeze the cone a bit around the edges to get it to pop in.
