Description

Feel the sensation and hear the sound of alligator jaws snapping shut.


Easily printed with PLA without support. Use the print profile to save the time setting up the model parts. Can be printed with small printers such as Bambu Lab A1 mini.


Easy assembly that involves only two steps. Instruction is provided for download.


To play, slide thumb or index finger over the gator’s head bump. The upper jaw will rise and snap down on the lower jaw. I like the sound. I even tried to play in sync with the drumbeat of a song :). I can do it with either the left or the right hand now.


The force of the snap depends on the speed of the finger sliding motion which affects the crispiness of the impact and sound. One can be good at it in no time, and the more one plays, the better one gets. I have found different ways to play it by holding it straight, or sideways, or at an angle, or upside down, and use different parts of the thumb or index finger to make crisp impact and sound.


The model is about 7 inches (178 mm) long, sized to fit well in the hand.


WARNING: Please keep away from small children and pets. Parts may break and become choking hazard.

the piece where the clip goes on broke when trying to assemble, next time I’ll add a modifier adding walls and infill in that area.
