It's BAAAAACK
The NEW and IMPROVED Bony Basilisk is here to celebrate 1 Year of Snap-Flex and 4 years of Thangs!
Emerging from the crypts and cursed castles, the Bony Basilisk is here to bewitch and bedazzle just in time for the spooky season! With its detailed skeletal structure, this bony behemoth is prepared to perch on your shelf as the haunting highlight of your Halloween assembly or stand sentinel, casting a bone-chilling shadow for your guests. This ancient creature refuses to let the ghosts, ghouls, and dragons have all the fall-time fun on their own.
Snap-Flex Collection: This articulated fidget toy integrates the Mimetics 3D "Snap-Flex" joint. This allows it to both move smoothly, mimicking the fluid motion of living creatures, AND stabilize in a firm pose, providing a premium fidgeting experience.
Each SNAP will resonate as a symphony of satisfaction to your ears, confirming your masterful manipulations.
Snap-Flex Instructions: To Lock: Push Body Segments together To Unlock: Pull Body Segments Apart
Tolerance: The Snap-Flex 2.0 joint eliminates the need for mulitple tolerances of these models. The updated geometry allows improves the hold and durability while also making it easier to lock/unlock the joint by giving it a bit of a wiggle. If the joint is too tight at first, just wiggle the locked segments side-to-side to loosen it up a bit. Over time, as you naturally snap and unsnap the joints, they should relax to the appropriate level of hold.
Personal Use: This model is for personal use only. If you're interested in selling physical prints of this model, please subscribe to the Mimetics 3D Commercial Tier on Thangs.
Print Settings: 0.2mm Layer Height 3 Wall Loops 3 Top Shell Layers Brim Suggested
Suggested Material: PLA or PLA+ Note: Silk PLA is too weak to hold up to repeated use of the Snap-Flex joint. Use silks at your own risk
No Supports, Print-In-Place at 100% scale Printing any smaller may disable the Snap-Flex joint.
Printing larger than 100% will make the snap louder AND harder to pop, so be sure to do a shorter test print to make sure it's not TOO hard to snap into place.
These tolerances are TIGHT and you'll likely have to snap each segment a few times before it's loose enough to snap/unsnap easily. I recommend you use regular PLA or PLA+. ABS might be even better, but I haven't tried it yet.
If you print this in resin, please let me know how it turns out. I imagine you would need a more flexible/less stiff resin for it to work appropriately.
