Sssstrike! – The Poseable Friction Snake
Tired of floppy articulated snakes that just collapse the moment you lift them?
Meet Sssstrike! — a fully articulated 3D-printed snake with friction joints built right in. Unlike standard ball-linked snakes, this one stays in the pose you set: coil it, strike with it, or stand it tall like a cobra.
