The materials are available in a wide variety of colors. There is even a "rainbow" filament that changes colors during the printing process.

@mark how big is this froggie?

[mark]

@brenda sorry for the crappy lighting but for sense of scale, I put it next to a house key.

[mark]

@brenda I am going to print a papa and some babies. We will have our own little family of froggos. But without the mess of biology getting in the way.

We can use that image to 3D print a key to your house.

[mark]

@horace It's not the key to my house.

Print a momma, too.

If you need adorable photos for a reference, I might have some.

*Picks up microphone

"Brenda, on behalf of all the people at TNCR, past, present and anonymous, let me express my gratitude for all the hard and noble work you've done with the froggos. You've not only given them a save place to grow, but also provided us with many hours of (virtual) enjoyment with your pictures.

You are a treasure, and the froggos are grateful as well!"

*Puts mic back on podium and graciously steps away.

mark, please post pics when you get the frog family done.

@brenda
I am currently printing a 200% size froggo in what is labeled as "fast color changing" rainbow filament. I don't think it is changing color fast enough for this print job. I will probably end up with a golden froggo.

I took a short video of it being printed...

It has about 2 hours remaining on the print job. The total print time is 6.5 hours

[brenda]

@mark That's going to be so pretty!

I know I've told you this before. I love these. Make LOTS!

Just finishing up...

The final print.

Ribbit....

[brenda]

Excellent! Fun colors! What size and color next?

[mark]

@brenda I'm printing 50% sized "babies". Four of them at the same time. 1.5 hour print time.

[brenda]

@mark Your frog family is growing by leaps and hops.

[mark]

@brenda lol

This is it. I am done with these critters for a while.

Currently printing a 300% version of this Ghost ship in the color changing filament. It's a 26.5 hour print job.

[brenda]

@mark Fun froggo family you've got, Mark.

Your ghost ship looks like it belongs in an aquarium with lots of tropical fish swimming in and around it.
