Help with a fun 3D printing project for my mom

Some of you guys may know my mom the T-TRAKer.

Well, she's working on her next module: a Llama farm. She loves those big goofy animals and has decided it's time to reflect that with her modeling.

This morning she asked if I was planning on ordering from Miniprints any time soon because she needs a few more to add to her flock.

Then I had another brilliant idea...  :facepalm:

What if I convinced some of my buddies to print her a few using an available STL file and mail them to her. I think it'd be hilarious for her to keep getting envelopes of llamas from around the country.

So... can I get any of you into the game?

I'll be more than happy to get some STLs like these and make them available for anyone who wants to leverage a little empty bed space for some laughs:

And maybe these: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/architecture/set-animales-personas-llama-lowpoly-estilizado-b_llama

What do you think?

If you want to play along, I'll PM you her address.

And don't put a return address.  That will really mess with her mind.  Who is sending me all these llamas???!!!!   :trollface:

If I had a 3D printer I would definitely play along.  Alas, I don't have one.

You must have heard the joke about the 3-L llama). If not,  1-el lama is a priest, two-el llama is a beast, and 3-el lllama is one hell of a fire!  :D

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
