Included in Monthly Downloads for December and January Patrons Here: DOWNLOADS..........................................................................................I have been wanting to make a non-skeli snake for some time and the King Cobra was a fun first! I knew the head needed to be upright to display that big beautiful hood hahaha. But I was also able to give it an opening mouth and tongue or no tongue options. I added a long and short version ( which can be printed much larger). I really like the single color gradients for this design... but the 3mf is provided, and gives you options for extra detail.Happy Printing -Dan*Please consider tagging @flexifactory/ #flexifactory in your social posts so I can see your amazing prints! AND make sure to share in the private Flexi Factory discord :) Members can join through the settings/apps tab or direct link in pinned post.

Print tips and Info:

You may see a warning about the long snake having over 1 million polys. Please be patient with the slice and DO NOT simplify.

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 .12 or .16 layer height for quality.

As usual, make sure you have good adhesion, especially for the small 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 50% and 180% for this design.

Gradient PLA works well with this model: I have a comprehensive list of Filament I use here: Amazon List

1st photo is 100% 3mf: Elegoo Marble Brick Red and Sunlu Orange

2nd photo is 50%, 100%, and 105%: Ziro Mist and Tropical, Eryone Shire

3rd photo is 100% 3mf and hand painted eyes: Amolen Yellow Feldspar and Elegoo Beige

The cobra has turned out so great! I love that it looks so friendly and not vicious. ❤️

Hello, the cobra is absolutely phenomenal. I simply had to have it and I’m already printing it — an incredible piece for my collection 🙂 I already own more than 30 different models from you, and you are truly amazing. Thank you so much for your work and creativity; I deeply appreciate everything you do. Please also extend my sincere thanks and admiration to your family as well — it’s clear that behind such outstanding creations there is not only great talent, but also strong support and passion. Your work brings a lot of joy, and it really shows how much heart you put into it.

@d3d_creative

Did you know - Under the genus Ophiophagus, it is not phylogenetically a true cobra despite its common name and some resemblance

Sandy G.

Did you have to use supports? I didn't think I usually have to on their designs, but I wanted to ask.

Dan

Thank you for taking the time to write me this message. I truly appreciate your kind words and support. And you are right, we are a team in the Sopala household haha. And so grateful to be able to bring the community these creations!

Lidia Heinzel

I haven't printed it yet, but I would print it without supports, as the model is designed without them.

Dan

Ok. I had to Wikipedia Ophiophagus... then donate because it's giving season. I see what you did there ;)

T Paycheck

Love this design! It's printing right now. I'm not sure of the color choices as I ended up repainting it a bit so that it would take less time, lol. Can't wait to see it though!

Les Cond

hi dan could you help printing mech dragon printmill but head is missing in file many thanks les

Deby

Does it need to be printed with support?

Dan

No, none of my designs ever need supports.

Deby

Im having issues with it printing from the neck up. Everything else printed fine till it got to the neck

Paul

Hi Dan, I am slicing with the new Bambu version 2.4.0.70 and after slicing the long version time is 22h29m - what might be causing this "long" time? EDIT to add - this is only on 1 color not a multi color option

Dan

The slicer will say that there are over 1 million polys. I mentioned it in the print tips above but you may have missed it :-) you will have a longer slice time so please be patient. This is on the long version of the STL. Please do not simplify it and just let it process through. It's a complicated design ;-)

Dan

Please open a troubleshoot and add some photos. You may need to recalibrate your machine, could be a clog, could be a temperature related issue. Most likely it lost adhesion unfortunately.

Frost Bites

What rainbow filament did you use on the large model with the small one on its head?

Jeff N

Happy Holidays! Thank you for all your great work this year!

Dan

Happy holidays to you as well. I've been trying to snag a photo of my family to share with everyone and it is difficult haha

Dan

Oh yes, I forgot I added the XL after I posted the original. That is flashforge candy rainbow pla... https://amzn.to/492lqVC

Lemic

I printed the long Cobra at 80% on a Bambu A1 mini in silk PLA. The head won't stay attached to the body. Is it supposed to click in place or do I glue the ball joint? Or have I done something wrong? It's a beautiful print!

Dan

It's supposed to pop in. But take a look at it and see if it's cracked. It's possible that the part that you pop it into might have cracked. It can happen with bad filament unfortunately

Wayne

Printed the long version with black/red dual silk and orange and came out superb. Thanks for all the great designs over 2025 and looking forward to seeing more of the XXL designs in 2026.

Mark
