🧠 Design Concept / Inspiration

This model was created for the “Let’s Make a Maker” contest as a voxel-style tribute to one of the rarest and most chaotic Minecraft mobs - the Chicken Jockey.

It features a custom blocky Maker character seated on a full Minecraft-style chicken, with all elements designed in the classic cube-based aesthetic. The build is accurate to Minecraft scale, but has been reduced to 15% size to fit standard print beds (including my K2 Plus).

I’ll be releasing the chicken and the Maker figure as solo printable characters in a few days — stay tuned!

🧩 Assembly Instructions

This is a multi-part print that requires glue for assembly

Supports are needed only for:

• The Maker figure (arms)

• The chicken body (undercarriage)

• The saddle/mount (I printed upside down, turned out nice)

• All other components are support-free and will be pre-supported or oriented accordingly in the provided print file

** I do have a solid, multi-color version for CFS prints, but settings are not dialed in to avoid color bleed.**
