I hope you enjoy my articulated Leopard Gecko lizard! He's my most flexible design to date. This model has hooked locking mechanisms on all four legs. Just slip the hooks into the upper legs, and give them a small twist to lock them in. This allows you to pin the legs to the body in different combinations for really cute propped up poses! Give it a try! Just like real Leopard Geckos, this model can wag his tail vertically in the air, for some extra fidgety fun! Please, share photos of your makes! I would love to see them!
Here is a quick video showing how to remove the Pre-Support and snap-fit the head onto the body.

Printing Details *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.
Includes 4 STL files: *Recommended:
- Body with Custom Brim: Print-in-Place, Brim geo is built in so no need to generate one. No Supports needed
- Head with Pre-Supports: Supports are already built into the model. No need to generate them! *Extras:
- Body: Print-In-Place. No Supports needed
- Head: Snap-Fit to Body. Requires Support "Touching Buildplate".
*Good bed adhesion is a must for successful printing. If you find you are having adhesion issues, use a brim/raft or use the model variants with the custom brims built in. If the custom brim shapes aren't showing up in your slice, try lowering your Initial/First Layer Height.
- 10-20% Infill.
- 3 Walls.
Though I highly recommend using the pre-supported files, and not generating supports in the slicer, some people may prefer to. For a demonstration of how I use Cura's support blockers to print the Head and Body at the same time, please check out this video. It's super easy! https://tinyurl.com/mr3zkyue
Scale to your liking! 100% creates a 10" model, 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 60-65% before the joint function may start to become compromised. YMMV
