About the design
A sea otter floating on its back with a beige face, black eyes and nose, small ears, a beige belly holding a black mussel shell between its paws, two hind feet and a flat tail, in five 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 30 degrees each way. It prints flat in one go with no supports and no brim, in gray with a beige face and belly and a black mussel, eyes and nose, each colour a raised layer on the one below.
