3D model description

One night in 1955, following the appearance of a meteor in the sky, a rural Kentucky family reported seeing strange glowing creatures terrorizing their farmhouse. Were the creatures just owls, monkeys, a shared hallucination, or something else? Who knows...

This design is intended to follow the original drawings, based on witness testimony, as closely as possible. The creatures were originally described as silvery, softly glowing, with white eyes having a glowing yellow center, and a dark depression in each ear. (Only later did newspapers embellish them as green.)

For best results rotate figure onto its back and print with soluble supports, 30 degree overhang threshold, and a raft. Keep the infill at least 30% for strength on the narrow limbs. You can use silver-color filament and paint the eyes fluorescent yellow (or glow in the dark yellow), or use white filament and paint the body and head silvery and the centers of the eyes glowing yellow.

Update 2020-07-21: I've added new partial STLs so the figure can be printed in different colors of filament and assembled. The mainpart STL is the silvery part of the figure. The eyes can be printed in place with the inplace STL, or can be printed separately with the flatprint STL. They can even be dual extrusion printed with the whitepart and yellowglow STLs. I've also included the Blender file for any other cutting or editing you wish to do.

Because the figure is so top heavy, I am going to design a stand or support that the toroidal feet can slide into and keep the creature upright.
