Summary

Inspired by the Minecraft Chicken by SpaceCowboy850, this chicken has squared legs, printed lengthwise in X and Y planes rather than Z so that they have less tendency to break.

How I Designed This

Designed in Sketchup

            <div><p>I imported the original design to get a feel for the dimensions, then re-drew the parts slightly smaller, replacing round legs with square ones, and reorienting the legs so that they are printed primarily in the X and Y planes.</p></div>
