Description

Introducing "Zippy" the Bot!🤖

An articulated print-in-place robot that requires absolutely no supports or assembly. Very easy to print, suitable for all skill levels, and it delivers excellent results with PLA.

This type of design, called Flexi's, are an absolute blast to interact with because of their playful, floppy movements that can go in all directions.

Feel free to share images 📷 of your prints on this page, or on social media by tagging me; I'd be thrilled to see and share them.

If you appreciate this design, please take a moment to visit my social media profiles and give them a follow. Stay tuned for more upcoming designs! 😍

Thank you for your support! 🙏💖

Zippy the bot relaxing on the couch after a long week. Printed in Polymaker Starlight Mercury.

One of the most amazing models, side by side with the Fila Flex< they were dancing together

Lovely design! A revised version that self-supports a little better would be welcomed :-)

Loved this so much I tried at 50%. Worked great and oh so fast!

Super cool print! I am new to 3d printing and it was super easy to setup, no supports, no fixing anything, overall really good print and super glad with the results, no issues at all and super flexible!!

I printed it on the Bambu labs a1 mini, with 35% infill ( MIKA3D Blue PLA )

Worked amazing, my best articulated print yet!

This robot is amazing! ZIPPY! I am new to 3d printing but am learning quickly that it is all about good files. I normally would slow down the first layer in the slicer software but forgot. My first attempt the right hand did not adhere. Then I ran it again but manually turned down the speed to 50%. Worked like a champ. I had also just ordered this silver PLA and loving the look, expecially for this robot. Really great file. The text on the back turned out well too and I know what a pain negative space text can be. Again, this file gets a 5 out of 5 from me!

I have printed 2 of these now and I think they turned out great.

These were my 1st big print.

Thank you for sharing you're design.

Really cool print! Thanks for the hard work!

I struggled to get the hands to stick, went through about 3 prints with really slow print speeds and still managed to knock themthem loose! Eventually I added brims and it came out above!

Print was .16 layer height and Cookie cad unicorn pet g with a bambu x1c

This was my very first flexy model I made, and I get comments about issues getting it to stick. I will definitely update the model in the future and make a better design that will print easily. Thanks for your feedback. And I am glad you liked it after all ^^

Thanks you for your feedback, I am super happy you like it and it worked for you, I agree that I made a lot of tiny parts that are hard to adhere in the first layer. Thanks for your support and for sharing 🙏

Two of my young grandkids loved this so I made them each one, then made the small one at 50% and love it too! 3d model

So cool, I printed a smaller version too, but never tried 50% :-)
