Snappy Cat - Articulated Snap-Flex Fidget (Medium Tightness Joints)

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

Looks like the cat's out of the bag.  When you're feeling frisky or need a quick paws from the hassles of everyday life, reach for your purr-fect pocket pal.  

Snappy Cat is the newest playful pet on the prowl in the Snap-Flex collection.

This articulated fidget toy integrates the Mimetics 3D "Snap-Flex" joint. This allows Snappy Cat 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.

Snappy Cat is the fourth 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 Snappy Cat 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:

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.

Mr. Rockboto: the Benchmark Bot

Mr. Rockboto is not only a fun print-in-place figure but it is also a very useful calibration tool.

He has 14 functional joints with different orientations, couplings, and tolerances. The tolerances range from 0.2 - 0.5mm and allow you to test the minimum clearances your printer can produce and still achieve print-in-place movement.

Each limb is labeled with the tolerances of their joints and all other joints have a 0.3mm tolerance. It might take a little (just a little) bit of force to break them free any more and you risk breaking the robot.

Print Settings:

No support!
No brim!

The point of the Benchmark Bot is to find the best parameters to make it function, therefore it is difficult to recommend any settings.

That being said, I used the following parameters:
0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height, PLA, 3 walls, 4 top/bottom layers, 10% infill.

Print-in-Place Fridge

Print in place container that looks like a fridge... Because why not? The doors snap closed satisfyingly.

I recommend putting a small brim on the doors, they don't have much area touching the bed otherwise.
