Sleek-Eyed Bone Snake (Loose) - Articulated Snap-Flex Fidget
byMimetics3D
Print-In-Place, No Supports, Articulating Fidget Toy
Slithering straight from the catacombs just in time for Halloween, this Bone Snake aspires to be the spine-chilling superstar of serpents! With its skeletal allure, it's more than ready to coil up and become the eerie centerpiece of your haunted decor or strike a ghoulish pose for you and your friends. This little one can't sit back and watch the ghosts, ghouls, and dragons have all the fall-time fun on their own.
This versatile, articulated fidget toy features the Mimetics 3D “Snap-Flex” joint, enabling each body segment to move fluidly OR lock into a fixed position for an optimized fidget experience. The sound of the SNAP provides pleasing auditory and tactile feedback that you're doing something right.
To unlock a jaw-dropping good time after printing, pinch the sides of the Sleek-Eyed Bone Snake's jaws together until they click and free up its cute little maw.
This Bone Snake is the second creation in a series of Snap-Flex models by Mimetics 3D, and it's available for free for a limited time.

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.
Silk PLA is a bit softer and may not click as nicely. I'd also be more concerned about silk PLA holding up to the wear and tear. 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.
