Round-Eyed Bone Snake (Tight) - Articulated Snap-Flex Fidget

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

Slithering straight from the catacombs just in time for Halloween, this Bone Snake aspires to be the spine-chilling superstar of serpents! With its skeletal allure, it's more than ready to coil up and become the eerie centerpiece of your haunted decor or strike a ghoulish pose for you and your friends.  This little one can't sit back and watch the ghosts, ghouls, and dragons have all the fall-time fun on their own.

This versatile, articulated fidget toy features the Mimetics 3D “Snap-Flex” joint, enabling each body segment to move fluidly OR lock into a fixed position for an optimized fidget experience.  The sound of the *SNAP* provides pleasing auditory and tactile feedback that you're doing something right.  

To unlock a jaw-dropping good time after printing, pinch the sides of the Round-Eyed Bone Snake's jaws together until they click and free up its cute little maw.

This Bone Snake is the second 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 Tight tolerance model.  For the other tolerances, please check out the other versions of the model below:

Medium Tolerance Round-Eyed Bone Snake: Coming Soon
Loose Tolerance Round-Eyed Bone Snake: Coming Soon

Please try out each to see what works best for you, and let me know which version you prefer!

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.

Serpentes nTopologus Voronoicus

This “Serpentes nTopologus Voronoicus” is part of a series of three articulating snakes demonstrating various ways that nTopology can be used to design unique topology within complex designs. It incorporates the gyroid TPMS into the body of the snake.

See here for video: https://youtu.be/z7fLPr0367s 

These topology snakes use a unique print-in-place ovoid joint designed to maximize available volume and surface area for other design elements.

This joint type is stronger than the interlocking double ring joints used in many articulated designs, so this design is more suitable for use as a fidget or children’s toy.

These snakes are 72cm in length but will print on a 220mm x 220mm build plate.

Like a “ball and socket” joint, the oval-shaped ovoid from one segment is held in place by a similarly shaped socket in the neighbouring segment. Varying the relative dimensions of the ovoid and socket allows for precise control of the movement between each segment. In this design, lateral side-to-side movement is maximized, but rotation and up/down movement is slightly restricted. This more accurately mimics the “tone” and movement patterns of a real snake.

You may get some small adhesions between segments. Simply apply a bit of force to move the joint the first time, and it will be fine after that.
