Peep - Chick

Classic marshmallow Peep chick! Modeled in FreeCAD and printed on my Ender-3 with standard settings (0.2mm layers, basic PLA). I used supports when I scaled up over 100%, but they were only generated around the "beak", and this probably was not necessary.

I painted the eyes on with dark brown acrylic paint after printing. For texture I added ultra fine white sand (colored with food dye), but they are absolutely adorable with or without. I used mod podge to adhere the sand, which holds well once dry and isn't dusty. Definitely worthwhile if you aspire for a realistic looking peep!

Cute little Easter/spring decoration that lasts forever in the basket. Enjoy, and would love to see your makes! 🐥
