Extra-Articulated Thorny/Scaly Wrym/Worm
Print Profile(1)
Description
This model is a demonstration example of an extra-articulated Wyrm with 106 segments connected by compact spherical joints!
I developed this compact spherical joint to be more compact and stronger than is possible with the typical ‘chain link’ joint found in almost all articulated models. The compact spherical joint allows for shorter segments and completely hides the joint connection.
The model I shared here is the 17th version that I developed. I went through a lot of test prints to optimize the joint geometry.
Overall, this articulated joint enables articulated models of higher quality than is possible with chain link connections.
Please use this model as an example of what is possible with this type of joint. I hope this demonstration model will inspire a new wave of better articulated models!!
**Added 32, 64, and 128 segment long versions to download and as well as plates in the print profile.
