Hey guys! We're happy to let you know that we did it! We made the system of changing heads for our print in place toys! It took us a lot of time and huge number of tests until we realized that we can't make the system with PLA (nor PLA+) but we did it with PET-G filament! PLA filament is so fragile that the petals of the system were broken each time we tried to put the pin in the neck joint even if the test was successful when we print the whole size toy - the petals broke. We used PLA filament Creality CR and Ender series. 

We almost gave up but tried PET-G filament (Devil Design) and it worked out at once! Even the hardest neck joint (the highest one) worked! So we're so happy about that and look how the head keeps a pose! We can feel how it got better to play with the toy with such a feature. We couldn't let Ramses out of our hands for a long time. It's so fun to play with him now!

There is a zip archive with 6 STL files - Body, Pin and 4 heads - 2 with horns and 2 without (only eyes are different as Reindeer had).

We'll make new heads and unique heads for you our Patrons over time. And we'll make our old models with this system over time as well.

And for now we look forward to hearing from you your results of printings and your opinion on it.

We're also so sorry that it takes us so much time to make new models for you. We have lots of plans for Happy Flexi pets but our main project  Walloya Morring (making ball-jointed dolls) takes us a lot of time and strength...  we'd like to let you know that we do appreciate everyone for your support! Maybe some of you needn't Commercial license so we're going to create a new tier - Supporter, so you'll get new models and other privileges of being our Parton but you won't pay for commercial liscense.

We also wish you happy winter Holidays and happy New Year! Have fun and take good care!With lots of love and hugs 💜💜💜Svetlana and Dmitry

P.S. for printing use scale 150% and higher, and print the pin separately with brim.

I may have missed it somewhere, but what’s the best way to prevent the neck joint from breaking (like best material, or settings). We made up a few I think with regular PLA and it didn’t take much effort to snap the neck joint while playing with it

We love this feature so much… can’t wait to start printing but we also would like to give it a try with different types and brands of PLA… we would rather scale these up than switching to PETG… so we’ll update you about our fails LOL

I laugh thinking of the Cerberus being interchangeable. So a kid put a Unicorn, a reindeer, and a pug on one beast
