FlexBuddy – Artistic Pose Mannequin

🕴️ FlexBuddy – Artistic Pose Mannequin with Customizable Base

FlexBuddy is a 3D-printable pose mannequin designed for illustrators, animators, and creative minds. With stylized anatomical proportions and articulated limbs, it's the perfect companion for studying movement, sketching poses, or simply decorating your workspace with artistic flair.

✅ Key Features

• Stylized human proportions, ideal for dynamic and static pose references ✏️
• Round modular base designed for post-printing attachment using a custom stick
• Easy to print in separate parts with optimized orientation – no supports required 🖨️
• Great as a desk accessory, artistic reference, or display piece

⚠️ Important Notes

📌 This model does not include pre-made holes for mounting the mannequin to the base. This is intentional: every maker might use a different rod or stick (wood, metal, etc.) with varying diameters. You’ll need to drill or fit the holes manually after printing to match your specific stick size.

📏 Recommended stick diameter: 3–6 mm (but fully adjustable based on your needs).

🧠 This model is built for flexibility – you can even mount it on articulated or magnetic supports for added versatility!

🎨 Painting & Finishing Tips:

• For a realistic look, use matte beige or faux wood paints
• Sand lightly and apply primer to hide print lines
• Finish with acrylic paints and a satin clear coat for a professional touch

🛠️ Recommended Materials

• PLA for indoor use and decorative setups
• PETG for more durable or frequently handled versions

🌟 Great For:

• Art students and sketching practice ✍️
• Digital and traditional artists
• Creative desk setups
• Educational projects and teaching aids
