Flaptor - UG VR

Flaptor - Flying Titan 01

In UG, the Flaptor builds its nest at the very top of the Aviary, where it watches the skies.

This Flaptor might try to nest on top of your refrigerator. 

Because of the general shape of the flying dinos, there's a unique way of assembling them.

To secure the neck, head, and tail, the balls and socket are printed separately from the body, then inserted.

Please know that gluing these pieces together is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Trying to friction-fit the parts is possible, but it will cause the parts to fall apart often.

The way that layers are printed requires the flying dinos to be designed this way. If printed as one piece, there's no way to prevent the joints from breaking the second you try to connect them. 

You might need clippers to remove or clean up some of the small supports, but most of them can be taken off normally.

Make sure to have good bed adhesion for a successful print (lots of pieces spread across a bed can be difficult for printers.)

Use PETG or ABS for this model, PLA will cause the joints to loosen in a few days and is reportedly prone to cracking.
* DON'T USE IT!

If you have trouble with the hands or legs occasionally falling off, make sure to remove all the support material on the ball joints that hold them.
