**Print-In-Place, No Supports, Articulating Fidget Toy**
**Bambu 3MF For Multicolor Printing**
 
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:**

_A little snek who slithers so 
surveys the scene and says that though
the seasons slip swiftly away 
some other things are here to stay._ 
 

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)

**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.


Slick - Articulated Snake Snap-Flex Fidget (Loose Joints)

Slick_articulatedSnake_Loose.stl

**Introducing my Squirrel design!!** 

 A little something extra for the Holiday season, this design comes with an alternate head wearing a **Santa Hat!!**

I'm trying something a little different with this design, utilizing more of the Connector joints for added posing options.  As a result, this one has a bit more snap-fit assembly required when compared to my other designs, but I think it's worth it for the added benefits.  Additionally, I designed a simple tool I'm calling the "ConnectorHelper".  It can be used to add a bit more leverage and a larger pressing surface when inserting the Connector pins. Here's a [Demo Video](https://tinyurl.com/yh4naehe) that shows the assembly!

Multicolor 3MF included (Compatible with PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Orca Slicer, etc.)!

**Introducing my articulated Tortoise design!** It's been quite a fun challenge to design of a tortoise that could both stand and retract into it's shell!

It's fully print-in-place, you just have to crack the head free (similar to the bunny and tiger). To help him stand, there are small ball and socket joints on the ends of the legs. Just pull the legs out as far as you can, and they should snap into the position that will allow them to support it's weight. Then pop them back in to let him hide back in his shell. (The first few times might take some extra effort, but they should break-in nicely)

Here is a **[demo video](https://youtu.be/SYsawWpqvkY)** of the model!

Printing Details

-   Print-inPlace: no supports
-   Multicolor 3mf included! (will load in Bambu Studio or Prusa Slicer)
-   3 Walls
-   10% infill\
Pulling the legs out fully allows them to pop into sockets. That creates enough tension to make him stand up.  It may be difficult the first few times, but once it breaks-in, it should work with light effort.  The head has built in pre-supports, just twist the head after printing to crack the joint free.\

***Updated!...*** Multicolor 3mf file now included!

**Introducing the Ghost Crab!!** I've been wanting to make a crab for quite some time, so it was a lot of fun to design this fella.

This one is a little unique in that most of the joints are designed to hold their posing. The legs do wiggle and flop when in their print position, but twist them around into the standing position and the joints tighten, allowing the legs to hold the body up in many fun poses!

I created a [Demo Video](https://studio.youtube.com/video/YmVHAsbuGNE/edit) of how all the joints work, and how you can replace the legs if you want!

Please, share photos of your makes! I would love to see them!

**Printing Details**
**"GhostCrab_Full" A or B:** These versions are print-in place and ready to go, all in one STL/print.
- The"A" version has standard sized tolerances in the Leg socket joint
- The "B" version has slightly wider tolerances, in case your machine/filament prints with tolerances that are too tight.

**"Separated Parts" folder (Optional):** In this folder you will find the Body and all of the Legs separated out into individual STL files that will allow you to:
- set the legs to print in another color/filament.
- make fine scale adjustments to the legs for better tolerances.
- print individual legs to replace failed parts.

**"Tolerance_Test_Print" (Optional):** [Video Demo](https://youtu.be/0amDkrg1N9c)
- A very fast print with both "A" and "B" leg tolerances. Print it to help choose which works best for you!

- **Multicolor 3MFs:** (Compatible with PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Orca based slicers)
-3 Walls (when using 0.4 mm nozzle. 2 Walls with 0.6mm)\
-10-15% infill (I like Gyroid)

This should generally scale down to about 70% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer. YMMV

**I hope you like my new Ferret design!** This fella has a new feature that adds another level of fun and posing, belly muscles! Well, not really... but if you simply add a rubber band to special channels along it's belly, it adds the tension needed to keep him standing with his belly off of the ground, yet he still remains super-flexible! Please watch [**This Video**](https://youtu.be/fj8n6YVZI5k) for a demonstration of the model and the proper way to string up the rubber band (it needs to be twisted between each link to work correctly).

In addition, he comes with optional belly extension links, so that you can make your Ferret belly as long as you want! I personally prefer one added extension. They come in two version, style A and B. Both are functionally identical, but have slightly different texturing so that the fur pattern doesn't repeat.

**Updated:* Newer Multicolor 3MF with more fur pattern detailing.

**PRINTING DETAILS**
A few of the parts have small connective "anchors" on the first layer to help with bed adhesion. You will need to trim them away before adding the rubber bands.

I use size #12 rubber bands (same size as used in my Bat design), [like these here.](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0035GE3YA?asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1TNMBMGM4SU9F&th=1&qty=1&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&linkCode=ll1&tag=matmiremakes-20&linkId=41fc328f5170fec5d81f12c8c812723d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl)***

- **Head:** Snap-Fit to Body. Pre-Supported for easy printing. No additional support needed. Remove the neck clip pre-support after printing.
- **BodyFront:** Print-In-Place. Snap-Fit to BodyRear or Extensions.
- **BodyRear:** Print-In-Place. Snap-Fit to BodyFront or Extensions.
- **ExtensionA & ExtensionB (optional):** Make the body longer by inserting these in between BodyFront and BodyRear! The only difference between the two is the fur texture, so that you can avoid a repeated fur pattern.
- **Tail:** Snap-Fit to BodyRear.
- **Multicolor 3MFs:** Compatible with PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Orca based slicers. *(for Orca based slicers… it's often better to use File>Import rather than Open Project, so that it doesn't import any printer specific presets/settings.)*
- 5%-15% Infill.
- 3 Walls.
- This should generally scale down to about 65% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer. YMMV

Please watch **[This Video](https://youtu.be/fj8n6YVZI5k)** for a demonstration of the model and the proper way to string up the rubber band.

**I hope you enjoy this articulated Crested Gecko!**
This design comes with two separate snap-fit tail options. In reality, Cresties drop their tails quite easily, and unlike many other lizards... theirs don't grow back. As a result, there are many many cresties out there without tails. I wanted that "frog butt" to be an option for my model too, so you can print either the full tail or the little nub and snap-fit it to the body.

I put together a short video demonstrating the model's features.
This includes the swappable tail options, head pre-support removal, head attachment, and leg locks. [[Watch Here](https://youtu.be/P9llZj7NBvs)]

Warning: Not suitable for unsupervised play by small children or pets, as small parts can pose a choking hazard if broken off due to rough play. Furthermore, broken 3D printed parts can create sharp edges and/or points. Not recommended for children under 3.

**Printing Details**
- Body: Print-In-Place.
- Head: Snap-Fit to Body. Pre-Supported for easy printing. Break off pre-support after printing. No additional support needed.
- Full Tail: Print-in-place. Snap-fit to Body
- Nub Tail: Print-in-place. Alternate tail option. Snap-fit to Body
- 5-15% Infill.
- 3 Walls.
Here is a quick video showing the easiest method for snap-fitting the head onto the body: https://youtu.be/P9llZj7NBvs?t=57

This has been test printed as low as 60% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer. The "full tail" is the part most likely to fail at small sizes, so if you go with the "nub" it can likely scale down even further. YMMV

*Good bed adhesion is a must for successful printing. If you find you are having adhesion issues, use a brim/raft or use the model variants with the custom brims built in. If the custom brim shapes aren't showing up in your slice, try lowering your Initial/First Layer Height.

Crested Gecko - Articulated Figure

mmm-crestedgecko-body-v03r.stl

**Introducing the articulated Bunny Rabbit!!**

**_UPDATED: Multicolor 3MF files now included!_**

I'm excited to share this new design! This is 100% Print-in-place, where one body part pre-supports another as it builds upwards. No additional supports needed! Once printed, you just have to wiggle the joints to break the small contact points and free up the articulation (see video).

Please watch This Video on the best way to free up the joints after printing! Be use extra care when printing in more brittle filaments like silks. Please use 3 walls if you use a 0.4mm nozzle! 

Please, share photos of your makes! I would love to see them!

Warning: Not suitable for unsupervised play by small children or pets, as small parts can pose a choking hazard if broken off due to rough play. Furthermore, broken 3D printed parts can create sharp edges and/or points. Not recommended for children under 3.

**Printing Details**
-Print-In-Place. No additional supports needed. Several joints must be wiggled and "cracked" free in order to articulate them. Be Extra careful with brittle filaments, like silks
-Pre-supported version included for extra print stability (recommended). Support is connected to the front legs that must be removed and discarded.
-Multicolor 3MF: Compatible with PrusaSlicer and Bambu Studio
-15%-20% Infill.
-3 Walls when using a 0.4mm nozzle <--This is very important!
-Please watch This Video on the best way to free up the joints!

This model has been successfully printed down to 50%. Below that the joint function may start to become compromised. YMMV

***UPDATED:  Multicolor 3MF files now included!***
Includes a 4 Color version for most AMS printing, as well as a5 Color version(which more closely matches my hand painted example) for those with multiple AMS units or a 5 tool head printer.

**I'm really excited to share my Articulated Bat!** It makes a really fun fidget toy on its own, but... add a #12 rubber band to each wing and it become really dynamic! (Size #12 rubber bands have been tested from 70%-100% print scale. Outside of that range, different sized bands may be required)

This model is Pre-Supported *(no added supports required).*

For a walkthrough of the model, including how to add the rubber bands, watch this video
For additional info on attaching the head, [watch this video](youtu.be/dbuXpUTG3Dc)
Please, share photos of your makes! I would love to see them!

*This model was designed for FDM printing. It was not designed for Resin printing, and I cannot guarantee good/functional results. Resin print at your own risk.

**Printing Details**
- *Body with Custom Brim:* Print-in-Place, Brim geo is built in so no need to generate one.
- *Head with Custom Support:* A small pedestal support is built into the model.  Snap it off when complete.  ***No Additional Supports Needed***
- *Multicolor 3MFs now included:*
- *4 Color:* for most AMS printing
- *5 Color:* for those with multiple AMS units or a 5 tool head printer (like the Prusa XL).
- 10-15% Infill.
- 3 Walls.

*Good bed adhesion is a must for successful printing. If the custom brim shapes aren't showing up in your slice, try lowering your Initial/First Layer Height.

Scale to your liking!  100% creates a model with a roughly 10" wingspan, so that will make it easy to scale it to your desired size. (80% = 8",  75% = 7.5", etc.)  Depending on your printer tolerances, you should be able to print close to 60% before the joint function may start to become compromised. Your mileage may vary

**Check out the latest Mimetics3D Model, [Little Lucky Rubber Ducky](https://than.gs/m/1024753)**  

_A little snek who slithers so 
surveys the scene and says that though
the seasons slip swiftly away 
some other things are here to stay._ 


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 **Medium** 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:**
https://than.gs/m/994484

**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.
