New small snake

Original Articulated snake body, can be rigid or flexible, can be made very small, sharing with everyone!

Rigid: Can be like fine wire, bendable and shapeable

Flexible: Can be like steel wire rope, won't break and springs back when released

From now on, 3D printing long flexible creations like dragons, snakes, and insects has a new solution The structural system has expanded from "chain-like" to two categories: "steel wire rope-like" and "fine wire-like" leaving more freedom for styling design (Completed on November 7, 2025)

Includes: Snake Venom Serum Buckle, Snake Nest Refrigerator Magnet

The content is divided into 4 parts: 1. Project Introduction; 2. Material Introduction; 3. Printing Notes; 4. Assembly Video;

It is recommended to read through all before printing At least read through "Printing Notes" completely

Standard version is 32cm long

Small size is 22cm long (A1 mini printable)

Mini size is 16cm long (A1 mini printable)

The snake head design is based on the "Jellyfish Head" project (with permission) Changes are as follows

as well as issues like color bleeding, slicing defects, and improper assembly force that arise after scaling down

1. Project Introduction: Small snake features, creation process introduction👇

2. Material Introduction: Test video below👇

For the rigid version's "spine" part, recommended filament options are: Bambu Lab's Super Tough series (about 72 yuan), P-brand's PLA Pro (about 65 yuan), P-brand's Max PLA (about 126 yuan).

For the flexible version's TPU, do not choose "AMS dedicated TPU" This TPU has severe "impact embrittlement", the small snake made from it might break if dropped, it's not as strong as regular PLA when impacted.

3. Printing Notes👇

1. When printing in single-color or dual-color mode (i.e., using the same filament for the spine and shell), pay special attention to "Z-seam" carefully check if the filament path of the spine is continuous after slicing I manually added over 60 Z-seams to the uploaded file to ensure no Z-seams appear on the spine

2. Rigid 3-color version Pay attention to the area in the image below, and check if it's a three-color situation like this If you accidentally changed it, right-click the snake body - "Split to objects", then set the material, finally, use the "Height Range" option in the "Paint" tool at the top of the interface to paint the snake's belly If you are a beginner and don't understand, re-download it and explore it slowly, don't rush

3. Flexible 3-color version Same as the rigid model It should be noted that it needs to be printed with a multi-head 3D printer printing alternating soft and hard materials with a single head can easily cause clogging

4. Printer requirements for each snake version (Ignore the orange overhang warning that pops up during slicing, no supports are needed)

5. The complete set of accessories for eyes, teeth, and mini snake needs to be printed using a 0.2mm nozzle

6. The supports for the upper jaw and lower jaw are hand-painted If you modify them yourself, please check carefully
