**Number in file names is a space for a phone in milimeters For a phone thickness of 8-16mm** - they are also on the bottom of models to show what size it is after a print

To resize the models use the equasion: 'Needed space (in milimeters)' divided by 'model number' multiplied by 100% = 'Needed model size in percent' For example if you need more stable 16mm you can take 10mm version resized to: 16 / 10 * 100% = 160%

Suitable with a phone set horizontally and vertically (tested with a 12mm thick phone) The smaller the gap between the print and a phone the more stable the phone stand is You can resize smaller version to the bigger size for more stabbility

The gap for a phone is cut with 12dgr angle

KEYRING To make a keyring use a Tortoise model of your choice and add there a keyring model - then merge both models Keyring models are with a 'frame', a flat surface that will not be printed. This way it is easy to set it in the right spot with a model - Ignore model 'errors' and DO NOT try to 'fix' the model

Keayring-Slim is a thinner version Use it for a smaller rings on chain

---

PARTS version There are holes for eyes (wich are in sepparate file) in the model If eyes are hard to push in the holes you can use a sandpaper or print eyes with XY compensation (horizontal expansion) - try -0.02 or -0.05

---

MULTICOLOR version Select files: Body, Claw, Eyes, Shell, Shell-shields - then drop them in the slicer and click 'yes' if asked to merge the models (if there is no notification you will need to merge it by yourself - use right click menu) You will need to add a Tortoise_MULTI_Negative.. model as negative volume to print a phone stand - just right click on the merged model and 'add negative volume'

I printed it with 2 colors (had no good colors for more) With 3 (different body color) or 4 (different eyes and claws colors) it may look even better

Printed with 0.16 and 0.26mm (multicolor) layer height 2-3 walls NO supports needed No need of infill but use it if you want a stronger print (I used 10% gyroid)
