**I hope you enjoy this articulated Crested Gecko!**
This design comes with two separate snap-fit tail options. In reality, Cresties drop their tails quite easily, and unlike many other lizards... theirs don't grow back. As a result, there are many many cresties out there without tails. I wanted that "frog butt" to be an option for my model too, so you can print either the full tail or the little nub and snap-fit it to the body.

I put together a short video demonstrating the model's features.
This includes the swappable tail options, head pre-support removal, head attachment, and leg locks. [[Watch Here](https://youtu.be/P9llZj7NBvs)]

Please, share photos of your makes! I would love to see them!

Warning: Not suitable for unsupervised play by small children or pets, as small parts can pose a choking hazard if broken off due to rough play. Furthermore, broken 3D printed parts can create sharp edges and/or points. Not recommended for children under 3.

**Printing Details**
- Body: Print-In-Place.
- Head: Snap-Fit to Body. Pre-Supported for easy printing. Break off pre-support after printing. No additional support needed.
- Full Tail: Print-in-place. Snap-fit to Body
- Nub Tail: Print-in-place. Alternate tail option. Snap-fit to Body
- 5-15% Infill.
- 3 Walls.
Here is a quick video showing the easiest method for snap-fitting the head onto the body: https://youtu.be/P9llZj7NBvs?t=57

This has been test printed as low as 60% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer. The "full tail" is the part most likely to fail at small sizes, so if you go with the "nub" it can likely scale down even further. YMMV

*Good bed adhesion is a must for successful printing. If you find you are having adhesion issues, use a brim/raft or use the model variants with the custom brims built in. If the custom brim shapes aren't showing up in your slice, try lowering your Initial/First Layer Height.

***This model was designed for FDM printing. It was not designed for Resin printing, and I cannot guarantee good/functional SLA results. Resin print at your own risk.**


Crested Gecko - Articulated Figure

mmm-crestedgecko-body-v03r.stl

***UPDATED:  Multicolor 3MF files now included!***
Includes a 4 Color version for most AMS printing, as well as a5 Color version(which more closely matches my hand painted example) for those with multiple AMS units or a 5 tool head printer.

**I'm really excited to share my Articulated Bat!** It makes a really fun fidget toy on its own, but... add a #12 rubber band to each wing and it become really dynamic! (Size #12 rubber bands have been tested from 70%-100% print scale. Outside of that range, different sized bands may be required)

This model is Pre-Supported *(no added supports required).*

For a walkthrough of the model, including how to add the rubber bands, watch this video

- *4 Color:* for most AMS printing
- *5 Color:* for those with multiple AMS units or a 5 tool head printer (like the Prusa XL).

*Good bed adhesion is a must for successful printing. If the custom brim shapes aren't showing up in your slice, try lowering your Initial/First Layer Height.

Scale to your liking!  100% creates a model with a roughly 10" wingspan, so that will make it easy to scale it to your desired size. (80% = 8",  75% = 7.5", etc.)  Depending on your printer tolerances, you should be able to print close to 60% before the joint function may start to become compromised. Your mileage may vary
