10mm Socket Buddy - Flexi “Missing 10mm” Mascot

Socket Buddy - Flexi Desk Toy & “Missing 10 mm” Mascot (10–20 mm) · Regular / Large / To-Scale · Support-Free

Flexi-leg socket mascots from 10 to 20 mm, including the notorious 10 mm. Print Regular, Large, or To-Scale (true 10 mm size). No supports, desk-safe, gift-ready.

Meet Socket Buddy - a printable flexi mascot that celebrates the most stolen artifact in the shop: the 10 mm socket. Print one or the whole set from 10–20 mm. Pick Regular for fast, detailed prints, Large for a unlosable desk statement piece, or To-Scale when you want a true 10 mm footprint (expect some detail loss at that tiny scale unless you run a 0.2 mm nozzle).
