Slick the Snek is super excited to slip into the Snap-Flex collection.  

Slick was originally going to be showing off the new **Snap-Flex Twist** experimental joint, but his buddy **[Sly - Articulated Snake](https://than.gs/m/1025111)** is doing that instead.

Slick is the 20th creation in a series of Snap-Flex models by Mimetics 3D, and is available for free for a limited time.

 
**Snap-Flex Collection:**
This articulated fidget toy integrates the Mimetics 3D "Snap-Flex" joint. This allows the model 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.

**Snap-Flex Instructions:**
To Lock: Push Body Segments together
To Unlock: Pull Body Segments Apart
 
**Tolerance:**
To accommodate different printer settings and filaments, I’m uploading 3 different tolerance levels of this model to ensure that you get the best fitting, most satisfying “SNAP” with each of your prints.

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

**Tight Tolerance Slick, Articulated Snake:**
https://than.gs/m/1018173
**Medium Tolerance Slick, Articulated Snake:**
https://than.gs/m/1018181
**Loose Tolerance Slick, Articulated Snake:**
https://than.gs/m/1018185

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

Make sure to revisit frequently for more thrilling Snap-Flex models to come. I'm 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.](https://than.gs/u/934587?plans=true)

**Medium Tolerance Alotl Love:**
https://than.gs/m/994480
**Loose Tolerance Alotl Love:**

**Print Settings:**
0.2mm Layer Height
3 Wall Loops
3 Top Shell Layers
**Good Bed Adhesion Required - Consider using glue stick** or a brim

**Suggested Material: PLA or PLA+**
**Note:** Silk PLA is too weak to hold up to repeated use of the Snap-Flex joint.  Use silks at your own risk


**No Supports, Print-In-Place at 100% scale** 
Printing any smaller may disable the Snap-Flex joint.

Printing larger than 100% will make the snap louder AND **harder to pop**, so be sure to do a shorter test print to make sure it's not **TOO hard to snap into place.**

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.

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.

Looking to hang out with your gnomies on St. Patricks Day?

This St Patty's Flexi Gnome is getting some stretching in to prepare for the celebrations.


He has 2 separate poses.  He can:
- Sit in a split-leg position
- Stand straight up on 2 legs


While waiting on some test prints of more complicated Snap-Flex designs, I started playing around with simpler flexis for sculpting practice.  I realized that there are other ways to make fun posable models, and that not ALL of my models need to be Snap-Flex designs.

**Check out some other simple flexis here:**

**Flexi Pug - Articulated Dog, Style #1: https://than.gs/m/1027312
Flexi Pug - Articulated Dog, Style #2: https://than.gs/m/1027678
Flexi Pug - Articulated Dog, Style #3: https://than.gs/m/1027452**

For more fun, check out the regular version and another St. Patrick's Day design:

**Little Lucky Rubber Ducky, a St. Patty's Leprechaun Duck - https://than.gs/m/1024753**

Models like this give me an opportunity to continue building my skillset and releasing models while I wait for my printers to finish prototypes of more complex designs.
