About the design
A round-headed purple octopus with big shining eyes and four tentacles that fan out below it, each in two pieces with white suckers near its curled tip, in nine pieces joined by captive joints that print in place. Each joint is a post with a wide foot held under a 45 degree roof in the next piece's collar, with a 0.30 mm gap, so the pieces cannot pull apart, and each swings 15 degrees each way. It prints flat in one go with no supports and no brim, in purple with white eye patches and suckers and black pupils, each colour a raised layer on the one below.
