This is an improved version of the previous bolt. This new bolt is reinforced with 100% infill, reduced contact sliding bar version to help with prints that seem to be fused together, improved support for the ball handle, etc.

26. Baby Groot
Baby Groot was inspired by Vol 2 of Guardians of Galaxy. To achieve a clearer detail, it is advised you use the high detail version to capture all the details that are put on it.
Though, if your slicer freezes/crashes, use the low detail version, as the high detail version has several million polygons and requires more RAM/computing power to be sliced.

27. D&D Dice Carrying Tray
D&D lovers will appreciate this tray and carrying case. It is advisable to print the case upside-down to make sure your printing achieves the desired round edges.
