Lucky toad of Chinese keepsake

Printed at 50% scale in green eSUN PETG at 0.2mm layers, no raft, and no infill.“This transparent green PETG sparkles like glass as it refracts the light. I printed it without any infill, so it’s completely hollow. For some reason I started feeding this guy with pennies through the slit in his mouth. He’s got a belly full of copper now, and is surprisingly heavy when you pick him up’’.

“I printed these from eSUN transparent yellow PETG at 243 degrees, 200% with 3 shells and no infill. This is the first eSUN filament I’ve tried and I really love the clear spool, but I have had a couple issues with coming back to the printer and finding it printing in air for some reason.
