Easy to print low-poly model of Capybara made to hold the smartphone

Version v1.3 - 07 VII 2025

There is a front (head in front of the screen) and reversed (head behind phone) model and a full model without a hole for a phone

Additionally there are keyring addons (to front or back) that you can use with a desired Capybara model

A NOTE:

To be clear: Some photos are with little older version (v1.2)

Base model is the same - the change is in an angle of phone (16dgr on version 1.2, 12dgr on v.1.3)

Number in file names is a space for a phone in mm

For phone thickness of 8-16mm - they are also on the bottom of models to show what size it is after 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%

May not be suitable for phone set vertically but it depends on phone size and its weight

The smaller the gap between the print and a phone the better chance it will not fall

Reversed version may be better for this

You can also resize smaller version to the bigger size

Version 1.3 is longer than older ones and with smaller phone angle so it it already more stable

The gap is cut with 12dgr angle

To make a keyring use a Capybara model of your choice and add there a keyring model (back or front). Version for back can be moved to different place and rotated (for example if you want it on side of capybara)

Then merge both models - see a screen from **** and PrusaSlicer on the last photo

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 Capybara - Ignore model 'errors' and DO NOT try to 'fix' the model

Solid version of Capybara (without a hole for a phone) is with a sepparate files that are already with a keyring

CapybaraV13-keyring-back

CapybaraV13-keyring-front

CapybaraV13-long is a longer version, the same as used for phones

It's compatible with keyring addons

HOLES version

Models are for a filament string used as eyes - usually a black one

Push it in with a pliers, then cut it with cutting pliers or a knife (be carefull to not damage the print or yourself)

Then you can use some a heatgun, small torch or a lighter to smooth the cutted end

To make it on phone version models add CapybaraV13_eyes-holes-negative-volume as a negative volume (right click on model)
