Thanks for stopping by and checking out my designs!

I'm designing a selection of bio-inspired, articulated, and/or cursed models.

My Snap-Flex models incorporate a special joint that allows you to SNAP the segments into place to lock them and SNAP them back out to flex freely. Fantastic for fidgeting and ASMR fun.

If you're willing to give me a bit of feedback, please let me know how you like the models here
