Long Bony Basilisk - Articulated Snap-Flex Fidget (Medium Joints)

**Print-In-Place, No Supports, Articulating Fidget Toy**

Emerging from the crypts and cursed castles, the Bony Basilisk is here to bewitch and bedazzle just in time for the spooky season! With its detailed skeletal structure, this bony behemoth is prepared to perch on your shelf as the haunting highlight of your Halloween assembly or stand sentinel, casting a bone-chilling shadow for your guests.  This ancient creature refuses to let the ghosts, ghouls, and dragons have all the fall-time fun on their own.

This articulated fidget toy integrates the Mimetics 3D "Snap-Flex" joint. This allows the Bony Basilisk to both move smoothly, mimicking the fluid motion of living creatures, AND stabilize in a firm pose, providing a premium fidgeting experience. Each **SNAP** will resonate as a symphony of satisfaction to your ears, confirming your masterful manipulations.

This Bony Basilisk is the third creation in a series of Snap-Flex models by Mimetics 3D, and it's available for free for a limited time.


**Tolerance:**
To accommodate different printer settings and filaments, I’m uploading 3 different tolerance levels for the Bone Snake to ensure that you get the best fitting, most satisfying “SNAP” with each of your prints.

This is the **Medium** tolerance model.  For the other tolerances, please check out the other versions of the model below:

Make sure to revisit us frequently for more thrilling Snap-Flex models to come. We're eager to hear your feedback and collaborate on refining this model going forward.

This model is for personal use only. If you're interested in selling physical prints of this model, please subscribe to the Mimetics 3D Commercial Tier on Thangs.

**Print Settings:**
0.2mm Layer Height
3 Wall Loops
3 Top Shell Layers
No Supports, Print-In-Place at 100% scale.  Going any smaller may disable the Snap-Flex joint.

These tolerances are TIGHT and you'll likely have to snap each segment a few times before it's loose enough to snap/unsnap easily. I recommend you use regular PLA or PLA+. ABS might be even better, but I haven't tried it yet.

Silk PLA is a bit softer and may not click as nicely. I'd also be more concerned about silk PLA holding up to the wear and tear.
If you print this in resin, please let me know how it turns out. I imagine you would need a more flexible/less stiff resin for it to work appropriately.

Reuleaux triangle fidget toy

Reuleaux triangle is a shape with sides of a constant width. I saw this on Maker's Muse and made this one for myself. Very fun to play with.

Donut Factory Puzzle // 2x2 Twisty Marble Puzzle (24mm & 35mm inner cube)

What's better than a donut? SIX donuts!

---

There's a lot going on in the Donut Factory. Twisting, spinning, snapping... the feel is satisfying, but trying to solve this tricky puzzle might leave you frustrated!

---

**_Assembly_**

This puzzle is built around a tiny [24mm 2x2x2 puzzle cube](https://speedcubeshop.com/products/eastsheen-mini-2x2-keychain-cube?variant=40210339659889). You will have to remove the keychain part.

Print 8 copies of the included STL. No supports are required, but the overhangs may warp a bit on some printers, so you may want to include a wide brim and increase Z-retraction height for travel moves in your slicer settings.

After printing, use flush cutters to remove the brim and flat bottom.

Magnets are optional, but highly recommended since they improve the puzzle action and make assembly easier as well. You will need 48 3mm x 6mm neodymium magnets. I used E6000 adhesive to glue them into place. Each face has 2 magnets. Make sure the left holes all have the same polarity, and the right holes all have the opposite polarity. Also make sure the magnets are flush to the face. It can help to use the corner of a table or some tool to press the magnets into place. Allow the glue to dry before moving forward.

Next, glue 7 of the 8 sections onto the internal 2x2 cube. Use only enough adhesive to connect the print to the corner of a cube. If too much glue smushes out, your puzzle may not rotate!

Once the 7 parts are in place, load up the marbles. This puzzle was designed for use with these 14mm ABS no hole beads (true dimensions closer to 13.6mm). The easier way to add the marbles is to rotate individual halves 22.5 degrees so the tracks form an S-bend, so you can add all the marbles of one color (8 marbles per ring). Watching my assembly video might make this easier to understand!

After loading the 3 rings opposite of the missing piece, fill the top rings, including the final corner, and then glue that into place. 

The magnets will help hold the parts together while drying, but I like using [0.25" x 4" Grifiti Silicone Bands](https://amzn.to/45QcKz6) to compress the parts as well.
