Description

🕺 Wacky Wavy Flexi Tube Buddies 🕺

Bring the car lot energy to your desktop!

We’ve all seen them—those iconic, arm-flailing, inflatable tube men dancing outside storefronts. Now, you can have your very own army of miniature Wacky Wavy Flexi Tube Buddies that "dance" right on your desk, bookshelf, or even your computer monitor!

 

✨ Why You’ll Love These Little Dudes:

  • 🤸 Fully Flexible Design: Features articulated legs and a "wavy" body that allows them to sway back and forth, and sit anywhere! There's also a static body design incase you don't want the swaying action!
  • 🪑 Sit-Anywhere Tech: Designed with specialized legs that allow them to sit securely on any edge—from the top of a radio to your laptop screen or a shelf.
  • ⚙️ Optional Motion Stand: Want them to actually move on demand? Use the optional interactive motion stand to give them that classic swaying motion anytime!
  • 🖨️ 100% Print-in-Place: No assembly required for the tube guys themselves. They print in one piece with zero supports needed!
  • 🎨 Multi-Color Fun: These look incredible in bright, vibrant colors. Print a whole rainbow to create a "tube man" party!

🎯 Perfect For:

  • Fidgeting: Bending and swaying them is surprisingly satisfying.
  • Gifts: Kids (and adults) love the goofy faces and wobbly movement.
  • Pranking: They are the perfect size for hiding in a friend's house for them to find later!

💡 Printing Tips:

  • Walls: I recommend at least 3 walls to ensure the flexible joints are strong and durable.
  • Bed Adhesion: A clean build plate is key for those small foot contact points!
  • Colors: Use your brightest filaments—Neon Yellow, Electric Blue, and Hot Pink really make them pop!
  • Filament Changes: This print, if using all 3 colors will use 21 filament changes.  If you desire less, and don't care about the white eyes and mouth, you can merge those 2 filament colors and leave the hair color for only a single filament change!
  • Stands: The stands print profile has 5 different options, depending on how many you want on the stand at once (1, 2, 3, 5, or 8!)  8 figures requires 2 different plates due to the size of the stand, and also 8x will not work on the A1 mini, the rest should.  They are separated by plate, so print the one you want!

Get ready to wave like you just don't care! 

Upload a photo of your Wacky Wavy army—we want to see where they’re sitting!
