I thought it would be fun to have a flexi manatee, so I decided to fiddle around and make one. It has a few tiny supports you can just pull off near the front flippers and face. It's not perfect, but for a first test version it's decent. The flippers do not flex in this version. If you decide to give it a try, enjoy!

Update 03/02/26

It was brought to my attention that I used the wrong tail type for a manatee, so I added a new print profile with a more appropriate tail type. The original profile will still be there with a Dugong type tail if you prefer that style. Enjoy!

the print is super cute. but just wanted to point out that a manatee has a paddle like tail kinda like a beaver. with a split tail this is actually a dugong. still very cute though

Thank you for the comment and knowledge. I will update the description with that info in some way, or maybe the tail.

@GenX3d77

I did go ahead and add a new profile, thanks again for taking the time to spread some knowledge :)

Replying to @GenX3d77 :

Either way it's a great print and my 6 year old will love to add it to his collection.

Thank you for the rating and comment, I'm happy to hear you like it. I agree on the colors. I've kind of stuck to single color since most people don't have tool changer type printers and the purge waste can be really high without one.

@GenX3d77

If you do want some simple multicolor you can paint it in bambu studio. It works pretty well and you can set it up the way you want. Just letting you know in case you didn't already know that it's an option :)

@user_2657109113

this is a really good flexi, I just think that it could be a bit more accurate with the proportions (not hate or anything)

The designer has replied

@GenX3d77

Thank you for the input :) It could be, yeah. I figured it still achieves the look and has a bit more flex since it isn't quite as robust in the mid section.
