The file

Download the model

Body and bracket, both watertight, plus the print notes. It lies on its back on the bed, so the face and the whole hood print as top surfaces and the only support you need is under the bottom stub. Dark filament. Light colours make it look like a toy.

In the first drop

I can fit two or three on the bed at a time, so this runs as a drop and I print to the order. Nothing sits in a box waiting.

It is a hollow shell. It does not see anything, record anything, or connect to anything. Do not bolt one to a pole in public and do not put one anywhere it could be mistaken for equipment somebody paid for.

Why this exists

Somebody watched one of the videos and asked to buy the prop I was holding. The model I had been printing was licensed for personal use, so selling a copy of it was off the table. I measured the shape myself and drew a new one from scratch, and the source file is in the download.

The file is free because I cannot honestly fence it. Measurements of a shape are not a copy of somebody's file, which is the same argument that let me draw this one, and it does not stop being true when it is my file. So take it. Every print anybody makes has my name molded into the front of it.
