Flexi Cow: Articulated Desk Pet
Print Profile(7)
Bill of Materials
Description
*UPDATE* I just added new profiles with a better fitting nose peg: ‘Flexi Cow 1 Nozzle -Better fitting nose’ and ‘Flexi Cow 2 Nozzle -Better fitting nose.’ I also added an A1 with AMS profile: ‘Flexi Cow for A1 w AMS,’ for those that want to print the full color version on the A1.
The farm series is expanding into new territory! Based on my signature cartoon cow design (complete with that classic grumpy expression), this is a fully articulated "flexi" model.
It is incredibly flexible, capable of bending completely in half, and features a dense, satisfying weight that makes it a fantastic fidget toy or desk pet. Whether you print it in a classic black-and-white pattern or go wild with solid colors, this cow is ready to wiggle straight into your collection!
Key Features
Super Flexible: Carefully engineered joints allow for a huge range of motion. It can wiggle, bend back on itself, or just sploot adorably on your desk.
Satisfying Weight: Designed with a solid, substantial feel in the hand—not just a flimsy shell!
Multiple Print Profiles: I've created specific files depending on your printer's capabilities so everyone can enjoy this model.
Printing & Assembly
This is a challenging print on the A1 and A1 Mini because of the rapid bed movement (the taller middle pieces can get knocked loose), so I turned on ‘Slow Down by Height’ in the print profile. I also changed the fill to gyroid and turned on ‘Z Hop’ in the filament settings. If you have problems with it you may need to slow it down even more.
I set all body files to ‘No Brim’ because a brim would be extremely difficult to remove from all the small flexi pieces.
Be sure to remove the ear support after printing (all versions) and the eye socket supports on the 1 nozzle version. Also remove the small built-in support on the Nose file (1 and 2 Nozzle versions).
The pieces all press-fit together. Just add a tiny drop of glue to make it permanent.
