Sat on an autumn step, tail curled round
Product renders of the exact model we print, staged on a porch so you can judge the size. Designed in-house — you will not find this one anywhere else.
Porch Opossum — Sitting
He sits about eight inches tall with his tail curled round beside him and his hands folded on his belly, waiting. Printed here in Wentzville in five separate colours — the grey coat, cream face, black ears, pink nose and pink feet are all different filament, not paint that chips off in the weather.
Straight answer on the difference: PLA softens in a hot car and goes brittle after a long spell in direct sun, so indoors or under a roof it lasts for years and in full afternoon sun it will not. PETG handles heat and UV far better and is what we would put on an open step. Neither is stone — nothing printed is — but the PETG one is built to stay out.
Printed in the colours shown — grey coat, cream face and belly, black ears, pink nose, hands, feet and tail. That is the whole look, so there is no colour to pick.
Size: about 8 inches tall (203 mm). On a step, beside a plant pot, tucked next to the door, or on a shelf indoors.
No payment now, and no obligation either way. Reserving one costs you nothing and holds your place in line. We will confirm within one business day, tell you honestly whether the run is going ahead, and you only pay once yours is actually printed and ready. Ships flat $5.95, free over $35, Wentzville pickup always free.
Printed, not painted
Five colours of filament, each one its own part of the model. The pink nose is pink all the way through. Nothing to chip, scuff off in the rain, or go patchy in the sun the way a painted resin figure does.
Why an opossum
They eat ticks by the thousand, they are gentle, they are nobody’s pest, and they are the most unfairly maligned animal in Missouri. Also every third porch has a gnome and none of them have this.
50, and only if you ask for them
This is a first run to find out whether anyone wants one. Each takes about a day on the printer, so 50 is a real ceiling rather than a marketing one — and if the reservations do not come in, we will not print it. You are telling us whether to build it, not buying something off a shelf.
There is a standing one too
Same opossum, up on his back feet with his hands together, about ten inches. People are buying them in pairs — one either side of the door, or one on the step and one on a shelf inside.
