_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:**

**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

A mesmerizing kinetic sculpture that uses a series of cam and follower mechanisms to produce a beautiful sine wave motion that in turn produces another beautiful sine wave motion of the ball bearings situated on the followers- it's basically waveception.

This design includes both an 8 horseshoe and a 16 horseshoe version.  

It requires 1/2 inch (12mm) steel balls which can be found here: https://amzn.to/3ViJuL7

(You will need 16 balls for the 8 horseshoe version and 32 balls for the 16 horseshoe version) 

**The STL File:**

All parts print on all standard 3d printers, requires no additional tools for assembly, and assembles in seconds (snap the parts together and you're ready to go!) 

The video below shows how easily this thing can be assembled! 

Recommended print settings:

Layer Height: 0.2mm
Nozzle: 0.4mm
Infill: 15-18% 
Total Material: ~222g (8 Piece) ~372g
Minimum Bed Size Required: 180mmx180mm

**All the files have been pre-oriented to save you some set up time! All you need to do is drop the parts into your slicer and hit print!
