My very first articulated model - and it's a Narwhal!

Narwhals, Narwhals, swimming in the ocean...

I spent much more time on this model then I should have, but I have been learning the flexible and articulated model style with this being my first offering, so it's been a blast!

Some thing to consider about this model that I have learned:

Articulated joints are the limiting factor on how small you can scale a moveable model. I have not tested this model below the 100% scale. I imagine it can successfully print below that, but be warned, with this model, the joints in the tail are the smaller ones, so I wouldn't go too much smaller than it is.

As it stands, you can comfortably print two Narwhal pals next to each other on the A1 mini build plate that is sliced in the 3MF file.

The horn was originally too small to print at the tip - I have since rounded it out so it should print a lot nicer.

The "bendy tail" file is my attempt to create a model that allows the tail to be bent upwards and rest there, its a bit finnicky, though, so I will need more practice with this type of joint resting in each other.
