Jiji Cat Figurine – Articulated Neck Model

🐱 Jiji – Articulated Neck Cat Model (Inspired by Kiki’s Delivery Service)

This model is inspired by Jiji, the charming black cat from Studio Ghibli’s Kiki’s Delivery Service.

Unlike your average static figurine, this Jiji has a rotatable head, giving him full freedom to judge you from all angles.

🛠️ Print & Assembly Notes

• Brim is recommended on all parts except the neck.

  The neck prints fine without it, but the rest might need help sticking to the bed.

• For a cleaner aesthetic, I suggest printing the neck in the same color as the collar (usually red).

• The bow can be attached using gel-style double-sided tape (like 3M gel pads).

  Stick it slightly below the collar’s cut line to keep it secure without interfering with the rotating head.

• Supports are needed for the ribbon only, but you can use for the head if you wish.
