I lived with many animals in our youth. I played with observing the appearance and movement of animals, and also became a material for manga and made toys. And it later became the source of inspiration for me. The object of this folding design is an insect, a stag beetle characterized by its beautiful horns.

This stag beetle has a structure in which many parts of the six-footed insects move. I have undergone many trial and error to implement this move, and I have finally completed it.

The first is designed to move the bark that covers the wings. I put a protrusion on the end to fix it well. The second time I had a nice horn to move. Third, the legs do not move, but they are designed to hold well in good posture.

The cautions in the folding process are that you must put the legs in the body first and then proceed with the rest. And another thing to note is that the horn can fall off the molding plate during the printing process, so use Raft in that case.

Various animals with exoskeletons have inspired mankind. Not only the structure of the animal, but also the shape, inspired many products. Foldable design has tremendous potential for design and manufacturing. To maximize this possibility, it is necessary to apply foldable designs to animals with exoskeletons. This foldable stag beetle will open up another possibility of folding design.

With this foldable stag beetle, enjoy your fun 3D printing by recalling the memories you had with insects as a child.

This design is a foldable VW Beetle that many people have requested me. The model I referenced is the 1949 model. I also like the VW Beetle very much, but in the meantime my skill wasn't good enough to design this complex form in a fold. But with the continued development of skill, it is now possible to produce this design.
This design opens the hood and the trunk in two parts. The car is a rear engine (Rear engine, rear-wheel drive) structure, with the engine behind it. So you can open the rear trunk to open the engine room and open the front hood to see the spare tires and other compartments.

※ We recommend to use the Raft, if object does not stick well to your 3D printer bed / plate. Especially the hood and engine cover are easy to fall off.
※ Please be very careful about hood and engine cover.
The bumper is well fixed with the use of glue.
