3D Printed TPU Rubber Duck Squeaky Toy
3D print your own squeaky toy rubber duck at home!
I designed the first animal to be used with "The Squeaker!" by SpoolDesigns
To celebrate the launch of "The Squeaker!", a fully 3D printable squeaker by SpoolDesigns, I sculpted a rubber duck to turn into a squeaky TPU duck!
Instructions
Step 1
Download "The Squeaker!" by SpoolDesigns
Print "The Squeaker!" in PLA
Follow the instructions closely to print out the Reed & Squeaker Tube parts and carefully assemble "The Squeaker!" and test for sound.
Step 2
Download the TPU Duck* by KarenChauDesigns
Print the duck in TPU:
Use the provided 3MF file to print the duck.
*Make sure to click on "Download All" to get the files in the original file formats.
I've test printed 2 with random and 2 with back. The ducks with "Random" seams squeak a little better, but don't look as good as the ones with the "Back" seams in my opinion. "Nearest" looks like a good compromise between the two I've tried. Leave a comment on which seam settings you decide on and what you think!
- The 3MF file is configured to be compatible with "The Squeaker!"
- The STL file is included for your regular non-squeaky printing purposes.

Step 3
Insert "The Squeaker!" into the TPU Duck
Take "The Squeaker!" and push it into the opening on the TPU Duck.
It should snap in easily.
Enjoy your fully 3D printed TPU rubber duck squeaky toy!
