I present the Articulated Hippo which is modelled after the Hippopotamus. A model with 10 flexible joints that prints in place without support. The model has been designed to be flexible but also posable. The main neck joint has a new spring based mechanism to keep it posable. Let me know if you like this solution!

 

!! Please have a look at my new model, the Tiny Baby Hippo !!

The complex structure of the first layer requires good bed adhesion, so please clean your print bed before printing or consider using an adhesive.

The print file has coloured nostrils and eyes but I believe the model looks great in single colour as well. Eyes and nostrils can easily be painted with a bit of white and black acrylics.

 

I believe the model can be scaled down just a little bit, but please have a close look when slicing to make sure no joints are fusing.

 

Overall, this is an easy print resulting in a great toy.

 

Please also have a look at my "Articulated Rhino” which is a quick and easy print which matches the colour profile of the Hippo!
