Description

This radially symmetric articulated hexapod is poseable, prints in place, and has absolutely no assembly required. I've included print profiles for both single and multi color versions.

 

Note: Before printing you may want to test your printer's tolerance for print in place hinges. To do that, you can use my Print in Place Tolerance Test model. By default, these hinges have 0.15mm of tolerance between separate parts, which worked well for my Prusa MK4.

 

For my A1 mini using mostly default settings, I found the looser spacing profile worked best.

 

For this model, you want the hinges to move easily but stay in place once positioned. Too loose and the figure will not be poseable, too tight and you won't be able to move the hinges without breaking them.

 

You can print this in PLA or PETG, but the joints will wear out more quickly if you use PLA.
