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:**

St Patty's Flexi Gnome - Articulated Fidget Toy

StPatricks_StPattysGnome.stl

Here is a St. Patrick's Day pot of gold with a little extra treasure inside 🌈 When assembled, this slinky gains a bit of a yo-yo/kendama vibe 😂 It is actually really fun to play with and only requires simple assembly (gluing).

**3D Print Settings:**
Layer Height 0.2mm
15% Infill
PLA works great
No Supports needed.

Dimensions of Small Pot of Gold Slinky: 3 in. x 2 ½ in.
Dimensions of Large Pot of Gold Slinky: 3 ½ in. x 3 in.

I am also attaching two 3mf files: one for the small Pot of Gold and one for the large. 

**Note**: When you go to preview the slinky in Bambu Studio you will get a warning that states: “Warning: It seems object POG Small (or Large) Slinky has floating cantilever. Please re-orient the object or enable support generation.” You can ignore this warning. The program is recognizing the space between each layer of the slinky. That ‘space’ is intentional and necessary to be able to separate the slinky when it is done printing. It will print fine without supports:)

**Tip**: I recommend multicolor filament (dual-color or tri-colored filament) or rainbow colored filament for the slinky. I used rainbow colored filament but just a heads up: to get all the colors of the rainbow in there I had to print 5-6 at a time because the color repeat on my spool was about 200g (the small slinky is ~32g and the large slinky is ~47g).

**How to assemble:**
Step 1: First, gently separate the layers of the slinky. After printing they will be lightly connected together. Gently separate them with your fingers or a non-sharp object like a butter knife. (See photo)
Step 2: Next, super glue the pile of gold to one end of the slinky. (See photo)
Step 3: Super glue the other end of the slinky to the bottom of the pot. This piece is loose inside the pot but is too big to come out. Set the pot on a small object (I used a spool of thread) to raise up the ‘bottom’ of the pot. Apply glue to the bottom of the slinky and then attach it to the bottom piece of the pot. Setting it on a bottle/spool isn't necessary but it makes the gluing process a little easier. (See photo)

Have fun printing!🍀

This little rubber ducky kept me sane amidst wrestling articulated dragons and snakes (well, wrestling with creating them at least).

If you're looking for a little luck of the Irish or a fun feathered friend to find Leprechauns with, Little Lucky Rubber Ducky is here to help out.

This one also helped me finish a new Snap-Flex mechanism, the new **Snap-Flex Twist** experimental joint, used in **[Sly - Articulated Snake](https://than.gs/m/1025111)**
