3D Printed Minecraft Axolotl Part Two

Earlier today we spoke about the Axolotl that was design by a student as part of the Minecraft Vs Tinkercad Challenge (2026 Edition).

The identified next steps for the student were to address the purpose of the print, to change it from a novelty to something with purpose.   To that end the student decided to use the original design, shown in the previous post and take it and modify it as shown left.

As shown there is now storage space in the head and side as well as three circular holes on the back of the design on the left hand side.   

The student was able to make the adjustments following the verbal feedback from the teacher and did so easily.

In the original post the student used 70g of PLA with a cost price of $1.73.   In the revised version shown left, when the storage was included the print used 65g of PLA and had a price point of $1.65.    The print time had been increased to 2 hours and twenty four minutes.

This print is now awaiting spray painting by adults which will complete its presentation.
