I'm really excited to share my Articulated Bat! It makes a really fun fidget toy on its own, but... add a #12 rubber band to each wing and it become really dynamic! (Size #12 rubber bands have been tested from 70%-100% print scale. Outside of that range, different sized bands may be required)
This model is Pre-Supported (no added supports required).
For a walkthrough of the model, including how to add the rubber bands, watch this video For additional info on attaching the head, watch this video Please, share photos of your makes! I would love to see them!

*This model was designed for FDM printing. It was not designed for Resin printing, and I cannot guarantee good/functional results. Resin print at your own risk.
Printing Details Includes 4 STL files: *Recommended:
- Body with Custom Brim: Print-in-Place, Brim geo is built in so no need to generate one.
- Head with Custom Support: A small pedestal support is built into the model. Snap it off when complete. No Additional Supports Needed
*Extras: -Head: No built-in supports. Must generate your own -Body: No built-in Brim. *Good bed adhesion is a must for successful printing. If the custom brim shapes aren't showing up in your slice, try lowering your Initial/First Layer Height.
- 10-15% Infill.
- 3 Walls. Scale to your liking! 100% creates a model with a roughly 10" wingspan, so that will make it easy to scale it to your desired size. (80% = 8", 75% = 7.5", etc.) Depending on your printer tolerances, you should be able to print close to 60% before the joint function may start to become compromised. YMMV
