Easy to print, FDM-friendly Pillbug (land isopods, roly-polys, etc) companions!

These are meant for tabletop roleplaying games such as D&D, Pathfinder, etc, but can be used for whatever you wish.

These giant fantasy isopods (don't at me about anatomy) are available in multiple flavors, including smooth, saddled, and cannoned.

The cannon prints separately (print the cannon oriented vertically with the mouth touching the build plate) and snaps into place, and includes a small prop crate of cannonballs.

They have been sized as Medium-sized (fits on a 1 inch / 25.4mm round base) creatures, but if you scale them up by about 150% they would work fine as Large creatures (Fits on a 2 inch / 50.8mm round base).

They print with minimal supports and should be quite sturdy, even with a 0.4mm nozzle.
They will look best printed in resin, or with a 0.2mm nozzle for fine details.
Example prints were printed at 0.16mm layer heights with a 0.4mm nozzle.
