**[Have you noticed that Bony Basilisk has a NEW FRIEND?](https://than.gs/m/964165)**

Emerging from the crypts and cursed castles, the Bony Basilisk is here to bewitch and bedazzle just in time for the spooky season! With its detailed skeletal structure, this bony behemoth is prepared to perch on your shelf as the haunting highlight of your Halloween assembly or stand sentinel, casting a bone-chilling shadow for your guests.  This ancient creature refuses to let the ghosts, ghouls, and dragons have all the fall-time fun on their own.

This Bony Basilisk is the third creation in a series of Snap-Flex models by Mimetics 3D, and it's available for free for a limited time.

**Snap-Flex Collection:**
This articulated fidget toy integrates the Mimetics 3D "Snap-Flex" joint. This allows it 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 for the Bone Snake to ensure that you get the best fitting, most satisfying “SNAP” with each of your prints.

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

**Medium Tolerance Extra Long Bony Basilisk:**

**Print Settings:**

**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.

This print-in-place fidget toy inspired by the Chinese Puzzle Ball is a great way to show off your multicolour or transition filament!

Models shown are printed in two varieties of Sovol PLA Silk Magic, the “Blue & Yellow & Fuchsia” and “Acid Blue & Orange.”

See here for video: https://youtu.be/OigZqhRVzOI

Select the “loose” or “tight” version depending on how tightly you want the spheres rotating within each other. 

To print, you will need to ensure that each separate sphere is properly supported. Tree supports work well, especially if you raise the object off the build plate 3mm or so. 

There is a small cylindrical plug inside the innermost ball. This is to stop the supports from generating inside the innermost ball. It can simply be removed with the supports.

**_Printing Guidelines_**

- _Grid.stl_ : Your usual print settings should work fine. I used 15% infill, 5 top layers, 0.2mm layer height. Optionally, swap filament above 1.2mm to make the grid stand out.
- _Skewbits A-D_ : 2-3 perimeters, 0.16mm layer height. No supports. Proper extrusion is important to ensure the print-in-place hinges are sturdy without fusing together (Clearance is 0.3mm). Use the colors indicated by the filenames if you want to match the solution guide. **Prints right side up.**
- _Grid_TPUgrip.stl_ -  Optional grip for the bottom of the grid. Print solid using [Ninjaflex TPU](https://bit.ly/ninjaFLEX)(Also on [Amazon](https://amzn.to/45IhDt9)) or similar. Glue in place using [E6000 adhesive](https://amzn.to/3FrgcV9), etc.
- _Grid_LaserGrip.svg_ : Optional grip for the bottom of the grid. Designed for lasercutting. I used 3mm cork. Watch [my video](https://youtu.be/j_jYnhOX49g) for details.

SKEWBITS Puzzle Game for 3D Printing

Grid.stl

A fun little fidget toy! Try doing a filament swap halfway through the print to emphasis the positions and patterns of the pieces.

See here for video: https://youtu.be/5Jdjr91qIQI 

This is a print-in-place design. Once the print has fully cooled, release each joint with a gentle twist. Repeated twists will smooth the inner surface and allow for smoother motion.

A “round” and “octagonal” version is included. Both have the same inner mechanism, but the octagonal is easier to print because of the flat bottom surface. To print the round version, I recommend raising it of the print surface about 3mm and building tree support underneath to support the contoured bottom surface.

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.

Ringchaku Spinning Fidget Toy || Christmas Chain

Christmas Chain V1.2 - Ringchaku Ring.stl

This nifty knot has some funky dance moves! No real purpose to this other than fun to look at and play with. Especially if you are a cat.

See here for video: https://youtu.be/Ob6gPMotD48 

This is a type of knot is known as “tritangentless” because there are no planes which are simultaneously tangent to three distinct points on the curve. Being tritangentless means that the curve can never have more than two points touching the flat surface at any given time. This is what makes models of tritangentless knots roll.

The knot can come in different shapes and proportions, but this model minimizes the vertical variation of this center of mass making it the best proportion for rolling.

The model is provided in a “textured” and “plain” version. In the “textured” version there is a small point of contact where the knot crosses, making it strong enough for your kids or cat to play with.

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
Brim Suggested

**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.

Baby Basilisk (Extra Long) - Articulated Snap-Flex Fidget (Loose Joints)

BabyBasilisk_V2_ExtraLong_Loose.stl

This “Voronoi Viper” is part of a series of three textured articulating snakes.

See here for video: https://youtu.be/8fIhzqsQP_k 

These textured articulating snakes use a unique print-in-place ovoid joint to create realistic snake movement. This joint type is stronger than the interlocking double ring joints used in many articulated designs, so this design is more suitable for use as a fidget or children’s toy.

The snakes are 54sm in length but will print easily on a 200mm x 200mm build plate.

Like a “ball and socket” joint, the oval-shaped ovoid from one segment is held in place by a similarly shaped socket in the neighbouring segment. Varying the relative dimensions of the ovoid and socket allows for precise control of the movement between each segment. In this design, lateral side-to-side movement is maximized, but rotation and up/down movement is slightly restricted. This more accurately mimics the “tone” and movement patterns of a real snake.

You may get some small adhesions between segments. Simply apply a bit of force to move the joint the first time, and it will be fine after that.

These models demonstrate some of the surfacing and texturing capabilities of nTopology.
