We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Good to know before you order

TPU has a £11.50 print-order minimum. ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon and PETG-CF have a £46 minimum; PA-CF has a £69 minimum. Delivery is shown separately in your cart.

Need a few parts? Add them to one cart. One order minimum and one postage charge cover the cart: £6.90 for standard materials, £11.50 with TPU, £46 with ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon or PETG-CF, or £69 with PA-CF.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

A print-in-place model of Baby Groot from Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, posed as though dancing inside a small pot. The pot and figure print as a single assembly, requiring minimal or no support material, and the finished piece allows the Groot figure to sway and wiggle within its pot. PLA with active cooling handles the fine details and overhangs in this design cleanly.

Original maker's notes

By Cordavi on Thingiverse · CC-BY-SA

I downloaded the Baby Groot model posted by landsharkxx (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:436968) and wanted to remix it and see if I could make it print easier with little or no supports. (Printing with PLA and an active cooling fan.)

I took the time to adjust the areas with overhangs, thicken his thin features, and resculpt in detail and add some leafs.

I was able to put him in a pot with a print in place part that allows him to wiggle around as if he was dancing. Video here: http://youtu.be/Qk9saWm2xM0
I used Meshmixer, Sculptris, and 123D Design. Print tested on a MakerBot Replicator 2. No supports or raft needed.

Formatting may have been simplified. These are the independent maker's instructions and fitment claims; Hark Tech has not independently verified them.

Printing Dancing Groot

For Dancing Groot we would normally reach for PLA — it is the easy, economical default and suits the majority of models. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
