Tentacle Toothbrush Holder: 3D Printing

I'm so excited to test out the 3D printer in my local makerspace!  I'm using a Makerbot Replicator 2 with PLA and a Makerbot Replicator 2x with ABS plastic.  I've been browsing thingiverse to find the perfect projects.  I have discovered, I desperately want a Cthulhu toothbrush holder, but since that has yet to become a "thing" and I don't have the talent ie patience to design one... I guess I'll settle for tentacles!


On unrelated news I've also tested out 3D printing a spork (it was very sharp)


and this LionFish!  I actually made two because they printed out so beautifully!  But beware they tended to pop off the print bed if the temperature on the machine was a little off or the painters tape was old.
