Arms outstretched, prepared to embrace, the reaper shows his bony face. But do not fear, it's not your time; beneath his cloak, he's just a spine.

REVISITED - Due to popular demand, I've revisited the Grim Reaper model to make a few key changes. I'm re-releasing it free for a limited time so that everyone who downloaded the original has a chance to get the updated version: Thicker Cloak - Many users had difficulty printing the cloak due to thin walls on the front and sleeves. I've thicked up all of the walls AND included an additional THICKEST cloak Snap-Flex 2.0 - I've included the updated Snap-Flex joint (see notes below) Longer Spine - I've included both the original length AND a longer version of the spine. The longer version doesn't quite fit fully in the cloak when fully unsnapped, so I suggest locking segments 2-5 and 6-9 to get the long version to fit

This Grim Reaper model is composed of 2 separate pieces. The Reaper Cloak and the Skele-Spine Snap-Flex Fidget.

If the joint locks a little too tightly, wiggle the locked joint side-to-side to loosen it up a bit.

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.
