Flexible Snakez

Snakez are flexible and fun 3D models that are designed to print without support. They are ready to wiggle right off the build plate once the raft is removed. These models boast excellent movement: they can be twisted and turned in all directions, even curled up in your hand. Each model features fangs that can move back and forth within a channel without falling out.

Five .stl files are provided:

• Straight version (approx. 177mm long).
• Curved sections to fit smaller build plates (134mm long).
• Key Fob version shortened by 5 links (118mm long).
• 'Long Snakez' which is about twice the standard length (350mm long, printable length is 144mm).
• 'Circle Tight' version made for very small build plates, with the same length as regular Snakez but more curved.

Raft is recommended for printing, but do not use support as it may fuse linkages. Printing with 3 shells and 50% infill is advised for durability. Snakez are fun little creatures to place around your home, office, or workshop, and make great gifts as well.
