UPDATE: Exclusive Flexi Factory Skeleton Snake! (Patreon)

*This file has been vaulted until August 2025. Will be $3.99 for new members.......................................................................................................................

UPDATE... Since some of you have had failures on my original design, I made several adjustments that may help🤞your printing issues.! The curved and straight have been updated, as well as the 3MF. NO changes have been made to the heads. Like before, you will still need great adhesion for the smaller parts. I have kept both versions and zipped them separately for you to choose. Please make sure the file says update before you use it. I could not recreate the printing failures on any of my machines, but thanks to the community for helping me troubleshoot some possibilities for the redesign. Please update your comments below if this works better for those that need it :).....................................................................................................................................................Happy Friday! I know this has been anticipated and thank you so much for your patience while I wrapped up these prints. I was having too much fun trying out all the different colors 🤣 I provided the 3MF for those that want to try, but honestly, these look fantastic in gradient pla.. and I prefer it that way too. I have been noodeling this for awhile, so I am SOOOO happy you chose this one for the Poll. For those that haven't seen the video, this is definitely my most articulated model. It even make a delightful sound when you move it. We have been a little obsessed playing with these all week. I made 4 versions:- Coiled Snake - Straight Snake for smaller prints (under 75%) and print mill- Head with Eye- Head with NO Eye- 3MF of all of the above

Print tips and Info:

STL and 3MF files are included. * If you use the 3mf file, please remember that it is a painted project file for your convenience. You must check your material/printer/settings to make sure it works correctly for your printing project.

I print with, 15% infill/gyroid, .12 or .16 layer height for quality.

As usual, make sure you have good adhesion, especially for the mini versions. A glue stick works or I have switched to using on all my machines... a BIQU Cryopgrip Frostbite adhesion plate.

I successfully test printed between 60% and 140% for this design. I do not recommend smaller than 75% for the best articulation. For small prints I highly recommend quality basic pla since the links will be small.
